The thickness of the nib

There are many issues that make me frantic scene inside the pen, but if I had to mention one that lately is making me more nervous would no doubt the lack of agreement on the thickness of the nib. If you have pens of different brands you will find that each manufacturer uses stroke weights that has little to do with those of others. Moreover, the same brand, depending on the model or the date of manufacture of the part mounted jibs with different thicknesses. I put examples I am using pen stroke order now finer coarser

Not one of these eight pens have the same stroke weight, although most claim to be F. How hard would be for manufacturers to reach an agreement in thickness to provide us a little life to the users? The fact of the diversity of sizes, it is still a little discomfort in the event that we acquire our pens in stores that allow us to test the script before you buy, but if you wish to buy a piece at auction or in one of the very good shops that sell over the Internet we will be forced to take risks and hope that our expectations are met.
