# Pelikan M205 Aquamarine ![[Pelikan M205 Aquamarine.jpeg]] USD 151.49, including a bottle of Edelstein ink; Massdrop; Sep 2016. Beautiful, light, solid. Reminds me of Zia Metella. Works well and reliably. It’s “fine” line is more like a medium to me. But that's what European nibs are like for me, given my penchant for Japanese nibs. Very wet. Condensed water forms on nib. Worried about bleeding. On Succes paper, it bleeds quite badly. Pretty good on Moleskine paper. Generally outstanding, even for the price. Grade: A
