Difference Between Lamy Studio And Lamy Logo

[WateryFlow]

Hi there

I'm considering one of these 2. Although I'm not overly keen on Lamy from various QC issues that they seem to have and because it's not obvious what the customer is getting for his/her money, but I want to try them for their ease of changing nibs between italic and normal.

 

Looking on ebay recently I've seen a Lamy Studio for £36 in brushed metal, but I've also seen a Lamy Logo in brushed metal for £24 (these are the typical prices). The problem is that I really can't see what I would be paying the extra £12 for, seeing as the only real difference is the clip.

 

Can anyone shed some light on this? cheers

There are more differences than the clip. The Studio is bigger around (diameter) and heavier. The Logo is a slim pen. I have the Studio in stainless steel and I like that it has the rubber encased section. Makes it easier to grip.

Hi

Thanks for that, but do you know of anything else that makes the difference in price between the 2 pens?

 

I must say that I think the studio seems like the more attractive looking pen in some subtle way

 

edit: i pulled the plug and bought the studio

Now that you've had a couple months to try it out, how do you find the Studio?

 

I'm in the same place you were: I like the Studio's ability to change nibs but I worry about the chrome section being too slippery for extended writing. I love the appearance of the Studio too. Just wish they had kept that rubberized section.

Hey uncertainty

Yeah I quite like it overall. I wouldn't say it was worth the money because there are lots of better pens and smoother writing pen at a cheaper price. I would suggest that you should go for it if you really need the exchangeable nibs and you like the Lamy simplistic design.

 

Mine doesn't have a chrome section because I went for the brushed metal, so it's easier to grip and write with for longer periods. I would recommend againt getting the black version because 1) it's slightly more expensive, 2) that section near the nib is slippier than the brushed steel one, and 3) when the barrel(espeically around the clip) and section starts to chip after a few weeks or so it shows up much more because it's stainless steel coloured under the black.
