Hey Bernardo, that's nice. I've never seen the mustard-colored 25P before... Will have to keep my eyes open for one of those.

Thanks! It was a lucky find some months ago :)

First generation 2000 with EF nib Lamy Blue ink.

I bought this pen,second hand, in June 2013. The seller described it as a good condition user pen. When I got it and tried it out I found that, yes it was generally in good condition and wrote very smoothly, but the nib was very bent and wrote more like a B than EF. I think the seller had sent it to the local blacksmith rather than a nib meister (or maybe let his dog chew it).

I have ordered a new EF nib and will see how it performs then.

I'm using the Lamy 2000. It's filled with Inspired Blue (Waterman) which looks a clone of Pilot Ama-Iro.

 

This is a superb pen. I can't believe the fine tolerances. You can't even see the piston knob. Writes like silk.

 

I'm a total Lamy fan right now. Other than my TWSBI, these are the pens I grab most often.

I am using LAMY Studio, because I recently acquired it, and I'm not sure yet that I like it as a pen, although I have spent a lot of time studying the design.

My trusty 2000, with its beautiful, wet, EF nib fine-tuned by Mike Masuyama.

      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
