it may be helpful to know: Lamy pre-test all their nibs, so there's often a bit of ink residue under the nib. It's *possible* that the signs of ink come from the factory (unless there's more than just a very small amount), and that the original owner has not used the ...
In Heidelberg on the Hauptstrasse/Mainstreet there is a Lamy only pen store. That nib has great tine bend...but unfortunately only 2 X tine spread. With 3 X tine spread (semi-flex), I'd connived one already. The nib will not fit my old Persona...I do have to call up the facto...
I love the pairing of the pale shimmer ink with the soft flexy nib of the 742. Written in a fine line, June Pearl is pretty light, but in the FA I get swirls of shimmer and more readable text. All in all, I really enjoy writing with the 742 and the FA nib, I’m just (unfor...
I cannot claim to be a fountain pen expert in any way whatsoever, however the perspective through which I see things is one of fairness (I hope!). I've had this LAMY Safari (Charcoal colour, fine/extra fine nib - I'll explain shortly) for about 6 months now and use it daily at s...
Anyway, after a few days with the Lamy 2000, I've noticed something, I really love the nib, it's got the right balance of flex and rigidity, and it's the smoothest nib I have yet used, admittedly I don't have a lot of pens to compare it against, but it's smoother than my ...
but definitely an extra fine to fine line. Nice and wet. The nib is not flexy, but didn’t feel like a hard nail. The nib material is simple pressed steel with some sort of tipping material, which means the nib does have a tiny amount go “give. Again, the nib definitely feels li...
Nib The standard dual tone Lamy EF nib. The whole 2cm of nib is visible when extended, a real treat compared with the 7mm nib on the VP. (Size matters) The nib is slightly soft and offers some line variation but I wouldn't consider it a semi flex. If you are really looking for ...
: 3 Parker 51s, but they feel softer when writing. I don't mean there's any flex, but there's much less of a "dense nail" feeling. Could be that P51 is a significantly lighter pen, I'm not sure. The Lamy is like a hooded small nib version of Jinhao X750 steel nail nib....
I have a Z55 (similar but with breather hole, and silver/gold) and I agree about its writing qualities. Not flex at all, but nicely softer than the usual Lamy steel nibs, or the Chinese variants. Now if you know of a Lamy style Chinese (real) gold nib...
Lamy 2000 is one of the most recommended pens on Fountain Pen Network, in part because it is fairly common and relatively inexpensive; because it combines refined design sensibilities, an advanced piston mechanism for taking in and putting out ink, and a gold nib; and because the Lamy firm ...
