Good morning,

 

I'm interested in getting a Lamy 2000, but I'm sure which nib. I have been primarily using Pilot pens, and like their F and FM nibs. Would a Lamy fine be similar, or would I need to go EF?

 

Thanks,

 

Steve

My L2K EF is closer to my CH92 FM.

Inked: Aurora Optima EF (Pelikan Tanzanite); Franklin Christoph Pocket 20 Needlepoint (Sailor Kiwa Guro); Sheaffers PFM I Reporter/Fine (Diamine Oxblood); Franklin Christoph 02 Medium Stub (Aurora Black); Platinum Plaisir Gunmetal EF (Platinum Brown); Platinum Preppy M (Platinum Blue-Black). Leaded: Palomino Blackwing 602; Lamy Scribble 0.7 (Pentel Ain Stein 2B); Uni Kuru Toga Roulette 0.5 (Uni Kuru Toga HB); Parker 51 Plum 0.9 (Pilot Neox HB)

My CH 92 Medium is definitely wider than my Lamy 2000 fine (and the Pilot is similar to my Pelikan m205 Medium). People say that Pilot Mediums are comparable to western mediums, whereas Pilot Fine are more western EF and I'd agree with that from my limited experience. But probably a Lamy EF is similar to a Pilot F.

 

Of course Pilot do the MF in between.

I neglected to provide an update on this thread. I ended up buying an 2000 EF from a local pen store, and I am thrilled with this pen. The EF nib with Iroshizuki (Shin-Kai) ink on Rhodia dot paper is absolutely magical!!

 

Thanks for the info guys. I may have found my holy grail of pens!

Congratulations and enjoy your new pen. Mine is about 5 years old and still most favorite after getting many new pens after that.

      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
