I have charcoal Safari too, but with a F nib. How smooth is the EF?

I was worried that the EF nib would be scratchy, but I like .5 mechanical pencil lead for writing fine lines and getting notes and sentences where they ought not go. I am very very fond of the EF, I precieve it very smooth, and the flow is good, it dosen't just cut out. There is no scratch but I think there is what is called "feedback", meaning you can feel the paper, but it lays down a line with little or no pressure. After seeing the Fine nib, which looks to write like a .9mm line I am glad I went with EF. Does the fine write a line like a .9mm pencil? I am curious.

Man that is a nice demonstrator pen! My favorite part is that they make it like all the others with the ink viewing window. As I suspected the fine just dosen't look fine enough to be called fine for me.

I love my Al-Stars and Vista. I'm so sad to have recently lost my charcoal Safari, but I have memories. And a photo:

Here's my recently acquired Lamy 2000 with M nib. It came in this tin clamshell packaging, which I thought was odd given that most of the time the 2000 is shipped in the cardboard-like package. Anyway, I really love the pen and it's getting a lot of pocket time! :)

Heres a picture of some of the Safaris I have in the collection

 

http://i1022.photobucket.com/albums/af344/996nick2009/Fountain%20Pens/file_zpsbcd45ee6.jpg

 

I have become a little obsessive about collecting the different colours.

 

My EDC is a Black 1.1 nibbed safari loaded with a Lamy Turquoise cartridge. Fabtastic pen.

 

Hoping that Santa brings me a BB nibbed L2K.

My red Al-star is at work, as always. It's been dropped a million times, borrowed, banged around, and still looks/works like new. I have a fairly active job, I busted a papermate in my pocket a few weeks ago but the al-star has never given me a problem.

 

In the picture we have the obnoxious-yellow 1.1 and the pencil. I'm waiting on the Accent mechanical pencil in the mail too and I'm SO excited.

Hi,

 

My first Lamy was a 2000, but I don't have one anymore.

 

I really like the Lamy ABC and Scribble a lot though.

Lamy 2k, Lamy Persona Titan, Lamy Lady, Lamy Studio - all with F or EF-nibs

Lamy black titanium oxide Persona 18 K nail....was an OB...stayed in the box because it had NO line variation.

Pendelton Brown made it a a Cursive Italic M-B....now it is always in rotation.

 

The chief engineer at Lamy told me last summer during a Factory tour, a new Persona was coming out this year....been waiting.

The persona is on my to buy list...any hint as to a release date? Then again, I might get a vintage and modern version. Also on my list, a Lamy 27.

 

Great to see some older models :)

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
    • adamselene
      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
