Can anyone recommend a fountain pen with the following requirements:

-0.2mm (ultra extra fine or needle point) line width
-Ultra Flex or Vintage Flex for easy line variation

0.2mm?! And vintage flex?! Damn, you're picky!

You'd honestly be best of with a vintage pen then, if you can find one at a decent price.

If you want some choice of modern pens, and are happy with a slightly thicker line and some flex, then any Japanese soft EF nib will do.

For those, the Pilot Elabo/Falcon line is good.

There's the Noodler's Triple Rail Flex at a very good price, but it's thick. I've never tried it, but it does look easy to maintain.

However, I think it looks cheap, even for a transparent pen (but not for the price). And again, it's thick.

Unflexed, the nib writes like a stub nib with a line width of slightly less than 1mm. Flexed, it can make a line 1.5 to 2mm in width.

Oh my god I am in love with the Noodlers Creaper pen. The flex nib is so good.

The more I write with computers the more I appreciate pen and paper. I don't know if it's me getting old but electronic notes and tasks just do not stick so much in my head as when I write them down.

I probably have like 10 MB LEs, including the Qing Dynasty one with a jade cap. Need to figure out with what should I write.
 
I don't have a problem, you have a problem.
