Shiny metal section :(

What are dimensions of that section?

If the nib is anything to go by the thing is going to be rather slim.

Looks like it's a slimmer Studio/Aion. Not slim as CP-1. It's drop shaped, so it'll feel slimmer. Looks like it's using the Aion nib too.

Looks very nice, but I have enough pens for now. Maybe later.

...that also tapers that way towards the end. Double negative for me.

 

Yes, not crazy about that either aesthetically, but I think it's more comfortable for holding securely that way.

Any information about the new Lamy Ideos? Is a new design?

Let`s see the price, it comes with the new AION nib, is it simply great and better than the safari nibs, I have swapped a safari and a studio nibs for theses and the difference in remarkable.

With these nib and at a good price I will buy one

What 's better about the Aion nib vs. standard Safari/Al-Star nib?

Kinda looks like a fat metallic Parker Vector to me.

I'll reserve judgment until I see one in person, and can assess the size and weight (and of course the price), but first impressions are kinda like Mr. Rene's -- the pen is not overly inspiring....

I can hear the EOOS pitch to Lamy execs, "Teardrop is the new black"

 

Gosh! it doesn't roll off the table because it's not a cylinder, genius! ;)

 

If asymmetry starts a new trend maybe we'll see more of this from other brands.

Good job Lamy! While I may not be in the market for one, kudos to you for innovating and trying something new. I'll at least make it to my local pen shop to take a look at it in person.

I like the design, but similar to others, I really dont like shiny metal sections, so will pass on this.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
