I had guessed it would be that one. Still wondering why I should need to googleguess for something that is the very best, as it is said. I find it somewhat vexatious to be given an opinion without a why or wherefore.

Well, his (her?) segment of his Top 5 choices begins with the Lamy 2000, but starts with pictures of a Lamy Studio described as a brushed stainless version of the 2000.... So there's that.

The author doesn't either know or doesn't care about the quality of the nib. Or both.

The author also seems pretty clueless about the pens he is supposedly reviewing. Lots and lots of utter nonsense, myth, irrelevance and simply false material included.

Love the tag line in the OP.

 

Lots of misinformation there.

 

Duofold - gives the date as 1921, links to a modern Duofold. They're totally different animals The same for the Kaweco Sport. Not that I don't like the modern sport, but other than its name and shape, the pens are not the same. The modern is not a continuation of the vintage production.

 

Lots of wrong dates on the page for the pens mentioned, all link to modern pens. I disagree with many of the pens mentioned. Maybe most. The Sonnet is IMO one of the worst pens made, and I handle a lot of pens.

the author of that content is Kathryn Fovean according to the 'about me'. it looks like a mish mash compilation that did not go through any rigor of verification. to me, it looks more like a disguised advertisement.

[LanceSaintPaul]

it looks more like a disguised advertisement.

 

Yes, at best a "puff piece". Someone maybe freelancing as a writer & this was the result of their "research".

[Bluey]

I've seen some of her vids on YT occasionally, but her review channel has become a Xezo(excessively expensive pens with awful nibs) fest so I stopped watching. I think she does have a genuine interest in fountain pens though, but some of her reviews are obviously paid for.

[thygreyt]

I just couldn't go on with the copious errors in the writing.

 

And yes, it also has a lot of misinformation

There are some pen reviewers I just don't watch anymore...

 

They seem to take the hobby as another collection...

 

... Some people bu fountain pens because they are 'hip' or whatever.

 

Pens were made to make writing enjoyable, not to look pretty.

 

If you can't make a pen write well....

 

.... Then that's that!

 

The rest is just additional.

 

My humble opinion.

Oh, I dunno, maybe, courtesy? A slight sense that other peoples time may be nearly as valuable as your own?

Erm, the assumption is that you're on the page, you think "oh, I should share this with the FPN folk", so you make everyone else's life easy and copy and paste the link of a page you've already got open. It's called making other people's lives easier. And while this title may have been unique, not all of them are. Either way, the norm is for people to provide a link when referencing a web page / site (so when someone doesn't follow the norm, people wonder why).

 

Further, if you really want people to go there (which may not have been the case here so much as "FYI, in case you are interested" as opposed to "I'd really like you to visit this page"), then making it as easy as possible (by providing a link) makes the visit more probable.

 

But in case you haven't read the other posts - it's not "the best" - it's got too many errors for that designation.

Not to derail this helpful thread, but I recommend the Lamy 2000 if you haven't tried one before. I've been using a Pelikan m805 and Parker 51 for the last few months and I find the Lamy 2000 holds up well next to them.
