Default Nib 'MK'___what size is it ? Medium?

I just got a LAMY fountain pen and it says MK on the nib.
What does it mean?

Regards

MK = Medium Kugelspitze
which means, well, medium of course. But it has a "bullet shaped" tip
which enables the writer to hold the pen at almost any angle without
scratching or skipping.
Good for lefties, righties and converted lefties (like me...) to prevent
cramping of the hand.

Don't like it anyway, I prefer the more sophisticated typeface of an
oblique nib and accept cramping of my hand (...its all lack of practice,
isn't it?).

Greetings, Det, swisspen
