I have to echo the cries for the Lamy 2000. It is a pen with great design, good quality for the price, and is also a piston-filler. It is great German design to the core.

Thats a lot of pens, just had a look at most of them! Indeed we have similar tastes thanks. Cheap pens are great as i'm a student and i can't really afford much :crybaby: hehe. Lamy studios are quite nice, along with the 2000. still the 2nd generation 600s are my favourite looking pen, one day i vow to get one!

From all the pens on this list,personally I like the Hemisphere best,but I have the Mars (glossy) and I am not too happy with it,so my next buy is going to be a Studio Black

For everyday use,probably the best pen on my list is the Lamy Safari,but it's not really a looker,so that might turn you off.I am also a student and use the Hemisphere as my main pen.

Hope I was of some help with you finding a pen you might like.

Oh, I love the safari, I think in the black with the chrome clip although it doesnt look expensive it has an air of simplicity which i like, it isn't textured and is quite basic (something i really like in the old rotring 600s) at the moment its probably my favourite pen as i get on with the grip really well!

You know, I'm very fond of my Lamy Nexx, and I think it's rather industrial looking. It's dependable, not fussy, and writes beautifully. Cheap enough to toss in a backpack and not worry if something happens to it.

 

I like clean designs. I don't want a pen that looks like jewellery.

I'd throw the Libelle Chromatic Collection in there as well. The gunmetal in particular appealed to the industrialphile in me.

What about a black, Omas Emotica? It won a design award, and is very modern.

What else do we have in life if not to help each other?

Thats nice, the price tag isn't though. I would love to try a Ti nib but i don't think i could ever bring myself to shell out that much on a pen . . .

I don't understand why people buy pens for looks rather than to write with, It baffles me. Thats why i like 'form follows function' hehe

Well I care how it writes,but when I see a pen I don't know how it writes,I can just judge looks,and if I am interested in buying,I will do research and see if it's any good.

Fair point, I do pretty much the same, i need the pen to look good (in my terms thats usually simplicity yet not overly smooth) but how it writes is the priority. No point having a nice looking pen if you can't write nicely with it. Another reason for me to like the safari :D

Something else you might want to look at are the Michael's fat boy pens. I saw them at the Chicago pen show. They are very unusual looking and definitely industrial. Although they are big, they are really light and well-balanced. Much better than the Rotring 600 IMO, but I like the way the 600 looks.

 

Life is a series of compromises.....

Caran d'Ache - Ecridor Retro Ache or Ivanhoe
