I have it for several months, it is excellent writer, one of the better purchases I made this year... I have red one and it is just perfect

I think its a great idea to give tis pen a cartridge since it has no ink window.

Hi Chris! I find your review very important. It highlights how Hongdian streamlines the production of one of its flagship models. Jinhao has never used pistons in its fountain pens until now. In A.Ex. the D5X is not yet available for the European market. While I had to buy the F and EF nibs again for the D5, the gold colored ones, since those of the two D5s I have did not give satisfactory performance on plain paper. We'll see if it's a question of production batches. Thanks for everything Chris! See you soon!

Gracias por el vídeo. Tengo todas las D5 y gracias a este vídeo me he enterado del modelo D5x. Acabo de comprar la color negro y plata por Amazon 👍

A nice Review Chris. So now, there's a model for those who like the pen design, but don't care to have a piston filler. I happen to enjoy my D5 piston filler. Out of curiosity, have you ever given thought to using an endoscope when reviewing certain pens??

May i know which is better ? Piston or converter one? I guess most people associated converter as a cheaper pen. But for them, the price difference is small. Personally i guess converter last longer as you can keep replacing converter, but look cheap. Like to hear more from all of you

Fine nib. But then you say XF. On my iMac it looks broad! OK. But it also looks really ugly to my eye. (The review is delightful, though, as usual. Thanks.)
