    Lamy 2000S Are Overrated...

    I personally feel that the Lamy 2000 is overrated. I bought one early this year,and my 6 months so far with it haven't been ideal. I encountered issues while at the Dymocks in Sydney CBD before I even bought the pen. They had 4 in stock,and I requested to see them. I instantly dismissed two as potention choices,as one had a very bent nib,and the other had tines so misaligned that I could see then without focusing. The two left were mostly ok. One had what appeared to be a factory defect on the white dot at the end of the piston knob though. I chose the only one without any damage,and bought it for $320 AUD. When I got home,after flushing,I tried to do a first fill. But when I twisted the piston knob-oh wait-I couldn't. It was completely stuck with what I later found was superglue?! What was that doing there??? But after some work,I got the piston to turn. It filled without fault,but it wouldn't get a full fill. I set that aside,as it's not strange for first fills to be hard. When I started writing, the pen skipped every now and then,and I determined that was 'baby's bottom',though it wasn't severe. I didn't know Lamy pens get baby's bottom. But,after even more work,I fixed that. The next 5 months were mostly problem free,with occasional filling difficulty for reasons I couldn't find. But then,last week, the clip twisted. I don't know how,but it did. I'm sure you don't know what I mean by 'twisted',but there's a picture down there(My MB 149 is pictured,to show what a clip in the right position is like,and also because I like showing off). That's about it for now. Thanks for reading.
