Lamy 2000 Obb

[KaB]

So many 2K reviews. Yet I didn't find any writing sample with an OB or OBB nib.

I'm particularly interested in line variation (or the lack thereof).

How would OB and OBB compare to a Lamy 1.1? (Those other Lamys)

Nothing much else to do this morning but do deep searches: Found lots of old reviews and conversations about the oblique nibs in general, not so much about the broad oblique specifically. Goulet says the oblique is wet and offers some interesting variation, previous posts here on FPN offer conflicting opinions, and there are a few OBs in gold available at Jet Pens.

Lamy 1.1 is a pretty narrow cursive italic, my guess is narrower and more legible than both Lamy 2000 OB and OBB.

 

Someone posted the exact comparison you want here:

Great! Many thanks.

Now I know I should either pick an EF or a BB and get that stubbed.

My latest EF was converted to a fine cursive italic -- I love it very much. Plenty of line variation.

I might have more information for you shortly. Just ordered a Lamy 2000 with an OB nib from Endless Pens. The price was quite good. compared to Goulet and other retailers.

 

I watched an old Steven Brown video on YouTube where he reviewed one with an OB nib and I liked what I saw. When I went to the Bay it seemed that the prices were higher than Endless' and that did not include overseas shipping costs on some of them.

 

This is my first purchase from Endless so I will be suitably impressed with them if things turn out as positively as I expect/hope.

 

Needless to say, I have no affiliation with the dealer.

 

I expect to have the pen sometime next week and begin using/testing it shortly thereafter.

 

Finally, you might want to check out the review I watched at

Thx!

I'll be curious to learn from your experience as well. And maybe see some writing samples too ?
