I would also like to know whether the Wing Sung uses Pilot 78G clone nib & feeds, and also hw well it posts?

The Wing Sung 698 is compatible with Pilot "Super Quality" nibs, same as the Wing Sung 659. This includes F/M from the Metropolitan/Kakuno/Prera, EF from the Penmanship, medium italic from the Plumix/Prera, and B/BB italics from the 78G (though the feed may not be able to keep up with the latter).

The pen posts fine but you can accidentally turn the piston nob so I wouldn't suggest doing so. That said it's a long-ish pen at ~13CM/5.1" unposted so it shouldn't be necessary for most people. It also comes with a little stoppered converter filled with silicon grease for maintenance.

Edit: I should note that I measured the ink capacity at ~1.6ml. Pretty good if you ask me.
