Currently using my old work horse Red Safari 1.1 nib inked with Noodlers Luxury Blue.

Just received the Petrol Sfari with Fine nib. When I use up the ink in Red I will ink the Petrol.

Lamy 2000. After a 5 year quest and several thousand dollars, I've concluded that it's THE PEN. Mine has a medium nib, which suits my writing perfectly. I also picked up a 2000 RB as a back up and I'm going to snag a 2000 ef for notations. This will be my EDC for a long time to come.

 

Before I got into pens, the 2000 was my dream pen. Even after all of the acquisitions, it still is.

I feel much the same; mine is a fine, though. It's a wonderful, wet pen!

Tastes differ. I bought my 2000 with high expectations. Had a faulty nib, pen went back and was lost in the mail (NOT Lamy's fault) and found after about a year, got a replacement nib that is better, but still not exciting me.

 

I like all my other Lamy pens, though.

Wrote two dang'ole papers with an Al Star. Fun fun fun. I never knew a Lamy could fix the issue of bore drum while writing an essay. :thumbup:

My brand new Lamy 2000 filled with Pelikan 4001 blue-black. So pleased I got it, it's an absolute joy to write with!

Mr UPS dropped off a Lamy 2000 with F nib today so that is what I am using inked up with Kon-peki blue ink. It was an early birthday present to my self. I expect it is the best present I will get this year.

Hi, Using my 'Vista' with the 1.1mm nib, ink is currently Cross blue, which seems to work well in all the pens I've tried it in.

Happy birthday and congrats on the pen!

 

I feel like Kon-Peki in Lamy 2000 Makrolon is like match made in heaven. I too have a Lamy 2000 inked up with Kon-Peki for today - but mine has a oblique medium nib. What a nib, I love this nib!

Well, since it's my first Lamy: My Safari Fine. In Petrol. I've had it inked up with R&K Alt-Goldgrun for a week and I have to say, I'm a fan of the fine nibs. Gosh. However, I just inked it up with Noodlers' Antietam because a friend sent me some samples from her collection. That's a neat contrast.

      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
