Is there an international standard for B (broad), M (medium), F (fine) and EF (extra fine), because everyone lists them differently on their websites? Averagely, F should be anything around 1mm, while EF should be anything below 1mm, all the way to 0.25mm, which we love to use for detailed book illustrations. THX

Best example of why you should be careful when picking a fountain pen: my broad Sailor Sapporo nib was EXACTLY what I wanted it to be - almost indistinguishable from a Western medium. It rarely lays down a line that's broader than my other Western M nibs.
