Pretty line-up! With respect to the Jinhao 82 nib, the Iridium is usually just the tipping material, where the nib itself is steel. They say Iridium on the nib because having tipping material used to be a big deal. Now it is standard. Collecting fountain pens is a weirdly delightful hobby - you end up knowing som strange things!
thank you for this intel on the jinhao! love learning stuff like this about all the different pens, especially the pen brands that have been around for a while :)
