So it looks like a cross between the studio and the 2000. http://www.lamy.com/microsites/aion/img/models/Lamy_077_aion_Fountain_pen_silver_161mm_large.png

Interesting nib shape. It isn't the Z50-style nib that Lamy uses on most of their pens.

I'm curious to see more photos of it, especially capped and unposted (since I rarely post my pens). At the moment I can't tell if I like it or not; it seems to hover between interesting and boring.

 

I like both my Studio and my 2000 (both in terms of how they write and look), so it's promising.

 

I reckon that nib would look good on the Studio too.

To me, it looks very similar to the Pelikan Pura. Not the clip, but certainly body and nib.

Anyway, I like it.

I like the looks of it. I do agree that it looks like a cross between the Studio and the 2000 but it's better than another Lamy Safari colour, right? :lol:

 

The nib design is interesting too. Didn't we have a post here that they were discontinuing EF nibs? But now they're going to issue a new nib design (just the contour is different, but I assume that requires more manufacturing resources than continuing a different tip width)?

They are not discontinuing the Z50 EF. They just don't sell it in the US anymore. They go to Asia now.

I think that there is also some far similarity to the Lamy Profil 80:

I think that I will buy one. Hopefully it comes with gold nibs as well....

The similarity is uncanny! Now if it only had a piston filler too. :wub:

Thanks for the clarification Astron! I got paranoid over the past few months of "discontinuation" rumours we've been hearing from different manufacturers.

What is important is the girth of the Aion, especially the grip, and the length of the unposted fountain pen.

 

Pictures, next to Lamy other fountain pens, would be great.

 

Does anyone knows when it will be available to see in Heidelberg, at the flagship store and at various retailer, in Europe, then worldwide?

This new pen looks very good to me.

Most of Lamy's pens (except for the 2000) are too slim for me or have a triangular grip section (Safari) which I don't like at all. The Studio was a nice pen if it hadn't that slippery chrome grip and the bulging clip.

You need to try an Imporium ;) - take it you did try a studio ? I got a Scala but was worried about the chrome grip for the same reasons but never found it to be a problem.

The brushed stainless Studio has a matte black textured grip and is very nice in the hand. I have one and put a gold nib on it and it is glorious to write with.

 

I love the looks of the clip on the Studio but the flaw is that it scratches the surface of the pen. But is a little more 60s flavor than many other (imo) boring minimalist self-consciously arty Lamy designs. The Lamy Studio in some ways reminds me of the Parker 45.

 

The Profil 80 is pretty cool. I wish this new pen looked even more that model.

I like the looks ! I see it as classic, German, utilitarian styling. Piston ? Metallic ? How much ?

My wife says, "Boring". I say, "Handsome". How much ?

If it is a piston filler with the Z series nibs it will be a must buy for me.... There is a small line near the end of the barrel in one picture, lets hope it is :D

      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

      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
