That being said, I have a Pelikan M1000 with an Oblique Medium
nib. After filling it with _water_ (it isn't in my current
rotation), it produces 15 very large drops. "Very large" is not
an exact quantity. I have never thought it lacking in capacity.

Does your pen fill all the way up on the first try, or do you have
to repeat the filling process once or twice (keeping the nib and
part of the section submerged in the ink)?

The 1000 never fills all the way, 1st, second or even 3rd try. I have
even submerged the pen beyond the nib. I think that slightly less that
1/4 of the capacity is filled. I can just see the ink against a bright
light slosh back and forth.
