The Lamy 27


MYU

Recommended Posts

wow, that is a gorgeous pen! I love demonstrators too. Must be a dream to write with :)

Today I found a Lamy 27b with F nib in an eydropper form at a thrift store. I think it's one of the very early models from 1952/53. Had a lot of cleaning to do with this one, a LOT of dried ink and gunk removed, but now it looks beautiful and writes really well. It's really too bad that Lamy is being so hush-hush about their early models. Before I found this pen, I also never knew these were out there. IMHO the early models are just as pretty, maybe even more so then their recent models.

Thank you for this great review. I am interested in 27e I saw on ebay and this thread is very helpful!

Lamy 27 (and 99) are great pens with really nice nibs. I actually swapped an awesome OF one from a broken 99 to my vintage Lamy 2000. That yellow gold nib in the otherwise austere 2000 makes for a really sweet looking and writing combo.

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
