2014 & 2016 Lamy Safari Se - Neon Coral; Dark Lilac

Dear all,

 

I know, I know, we are already eagerly awaiting the 2017 special edition Safari to get to pen-shops, but I just had these two sitting on my desk, and wanted to share.

Have you noticed, that taking pictures of pens with matt finish is a bit easier than of those with shiny surface ... ? Or is it just me?

The glossy pens often look plain. It's harder to light up the scene. The matte structure ads more depth to the pictures and accentuates the shape of the pen.

 

I am not a skilled photographer but I noticed it too.

Both shiny and matte Lamy pens are durable.

 

Years ago, the CEO of Levenger, an office accessories and pen retailer, drove his car over a Safari, besides some scratches, the pen was intact.

 

So it takes a lot for something to happen to a Lamy.

 

Both Safari colors in the picture, are lovely.

Is it fair for an intelligent and family oriented mammal to be separated from his/her family and spend his/her life starved in a concrete jail?

Not wild about the Coral, myself. But couldn't wait to get my hands on the Dark Lilac. :wub: I've got an F nib on mine, and it's a great writer and a gorgeous pen (it would not be nearly as attractive, IMO, if it had the chrome clip and standard steel nib). Last year at the Triangle Pen Show, the guy from Crazy Alan's told me he'd already sold 150 of the pens, and that he thought they might have been the fastest selling pens in history).

Thanks for posting the pix.

      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
