I went to my local pen shop and they said that unfortunately there aren't official Lamy spare parts for the imporium yet since it's so new.

 

So I will have to wait a bit longer to upgrade my safari with the lovely imporium nib.

 

When I bought a 2nd nib for my Persona, Lamy supplied it as whole lower screw in section.

 

I could not just get the nib. I now have two complete lower sections, and I just screw them on and off, just as when I fill the convertor with ink.

Is it possible to take the nib off, and how much did you pay for it?

I have had this pen for a long time, bought mid 90's.

 

I think I purchased the nib section from Lamy USA in early 2000's for about $150~$175? Not sure.

 

I have never tried to separate the nib from the section, and frankly, never will.

I have no desire to do so.

My arrangement for the Persona works great.

Great looking pen you got there!

 

Was actually very excited that they were going to re-release the Persona...until I found out the price, and almost no update in technical or design components. (how do they justify the price hike then?) I was hoping for at least a piston filler maybe.

 

anyway, I hope you enjoy the pen! It's a great looker that's for sure!

side note: I like the trim combo you chose the best ;)

I just picked one up on sale and it really is an interesting pen. Heavier and 'girthier' than I expected but in a great way. It's very well done and while I think Lamy has overpriced it in the US I'm in complete agreement with this great review. Easily one of the most interesting modern pens I've come across.

I agree that it was larger and heavier than I was expecting but I think it is a good thing for me and my hands at lwast.

It's definitely selling well too - just ordered the black on black model from Joy at Pen Boutique and it's back ordered by a few weeks.

No kidding! I wasn't sure at the price that it was going for that it would be so popular but I'm just glad I snagged one!

Went to Houston last Wednesday to see my daughter, do some shopping and visit with the Dromgoole brothers at the shop. I was determined NOT to buy a pen

until Larry laid out the three different expressions of this bad boy!!! I immediately lost all resolve and left with the black/gold one in F nib. It was the first one sold in Houston. Pricey but nice.

Congratulations! Hope you're enjoying it - you influenced me to change my order for the black-black to the black-gold, not usually a fan of gold but it really does look better on this one.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
