I just received the Lamy studio last night. For now I'm using the ink cartridge until I learn how to use the converter. It writes amazing compared to what I'm used to. I don't know a whole lot about fountain pens but I'm happy with it.

Mine is medium and the nib is very smooth as well. It is a bit to heavy for prolonged writing but as I said, I just love the design.

It's heavy, but the weight is in the front. So you don't need to press at all, the pen's own weight presses the nib onto the paper. Just let the pen lie in the web of your thumb and let the fingers just guide the pen. Writing should be done with the arm muscles anyway, not with the fingers.

That way you won't feel the weight.

Looks good, and likely to become the new flag-ship pen!

Haven't tried one. A bit too expensive for me for a while...

Here's one that I recently rescued from deep storage. It had not been well for a long time. I managed to revive it, and also do a franken nib swap. I'm sure I'm not the first person to have done it. This is really enjoyable pen except that with the way I hold the pen, my thumb has to rest right on the clip.post-80291-0-83225200-1455139888_thumb.jpg

2 Lamy Al Stars--Copper orange with a fine nib and filled with Autumn Oak ink, and a dark blue beauty with a 1.1 mm italic nib and filled with Bleu Ocean ink. I love them both.

 

I don't have any other Lamy models. I never really cared for the looks of any of the Safaris/Al Stars, but once I wrote with my first one, I became a convert :-). I'm going to research some of the other models you guys have mentioned, and see whether I like their looks, as well as reviews--especially those that compare them with the Al Star model.

      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
