Lamy 2000 2021 edition?


Calabria

Recommended Posts

There have been mentions that Lamy is planning a brown L2K release this year. Does anybody have any updates on

this?

I have no more information but after the dark blue one the brown will be a nice addition to any collection of Lamy 2000.

There was at some point a photo circulating here that was suggesting some of the new releases indeed. So far the AL stars and the Safari's actually were released. So lets hope this brown one also comes around... some day...  And lets hope it is more accessible than the blue one 😕

I don't have new info either, but here's the image that shows the Lamy SEs for this year. I'm waiting on pins and needles for the brown 2000 as well. I got lucky and got a brand new blue one for MSRP on ebay, but hopefully this one will be more readily available!

The packaging does look daunting in terms of pricing. Germany has been pretty hard hit by Covid lockdowns and the L2 requires a bit of hand assembly so that may be delaying the release.

A matte brown finish on a pen reminds me of ebonite that's been poorly taken care of. Not sure how I feel about this one. But the body-colored clip is interesting, wonder how they'll implement that.

I noticed the body-colored clip as well, although honestly I'm a little doubtful that I'll like it! It seems like especially when it's capped, having it be all brown will kind of detract from the "Lamy 2000" look. But we shall see...

Yea, it really depends on how it is implemented. I have a positive impression of body-colored clips, given my association of them is with those wonderful Namikis:

Lamy is certainly not going to use Maki-e, haha. But it will be interesting to see how they do it, and how durable the finish is.

 

That said, coloring the clip does indeed detract from the Bauhaus feeling of the pen. The Braun shaver-aesthetic is a part of the pen's identity.

It's great that Lamy and other pen manufacturers are hearing their clients, and the feasible Lamy 2000 in brown makrolon sounds fantastic, but...

 

How much are they going to charge us for the privilege of being heard?

 

Hopefully it's not a 100%-200% mark up with this one!

Good point -- Lamy's prices on their LE/SE 2000s have been exorbitant, which I feel they get away with since supply is relatively low.

I expect Lamy to sell these pens for a price point closer to that of the Lamy Bauhaus Limited Edition. The pen may or may not be numbered, but the presence of the notebook in the picture doesn´t seem to be a good omen for us. The box seems to be identical to the Bauhaus edition also.

Germany still seems to be largely closed down due to Covid so we may have to wait quite a while for this release.

I agree, those Namikis are amazing! Now that's a grail pen...

Probably old news by now,

Old news is new news to me, thank you for sharing !!😀

 

I got super excited and clicked the link, my pupils spanned wide open at the distinctive gorgeous chocolate brown 😍 and not a millisecond sooner I saw the printed value exchange for said prize...and a whole range of emotions ensued in the intervening seconds between image and text recognition  🧐 😳😥😱😭

No emotions for me really.  I'm not happy paying that price.  Love the colour though, but no thanks. :mellow:

Oohh, different colour and pay four times more..um....maybe not. Nice pen but the price turns it all to something else that's brown.

      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
