Lamy Pens

Recommended Posts

I currently have one good pen that I use exclusively which is a Pelikan 600 Sovereign. I love how light and smooth the pen is. You can write for hours without getting a sore hand. When I bought it I also looked at the Montblanc Starwalker in metal. I liked the look but not the weight. I'm currently thinking about getting a Lamy Studio Palladium or a Lamy 2000 and I'm looking to find out how they compare in weight to the Pelikan 600. If they are a much heavier pen can someone recommend another pen of comparable quality and price to the Lamy.

Thanks

I'm afraid I don't have any experience with the Pelikan M600 aside from the M250/M215 and M400, but I'm a HUGE Lamy 2000 fan and I think it should be more or less the size of the Pelikan M600. The Lamy Studio Palladium is a little heavier and is a fine pen, but I like and prefer the Lamy 2000 over the Studio for it's lightweight, flexible nib and piston filling mechanism. Also, the Makrolon material on the Lamy 2000 is scuff resistant and is said to develop a nice patina over time. Lamys are quite a departure from the traditional looking Pelikan Souveran series, but the Lamy 2000 is a classic design by itself which has remained virtually the same since it's release in the 1960's. Here's a review of the pen if you're interested: Lamy 2000

I jsut received a Lamy 2000. I like the weight (generally I like lighter weight pens) and I like the feel of it. The nib is really cool too becuase it is very flexible. It makes it easy to write a long time iwth it... which is what i have to do in my current position.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
