 Endless Pens carries all the gold nibs for $71, they also often have sales and coupons. I bought the z56 for less than $50 the last time they had a Lamy sale. There’s a huge Sailor sale on now.

So far today it's been the Red Shadow Wave Vac, F nib, still with Waterman Mysterious Blue.  

That ink just so good coming out of that pen....

[Mark from Yorkshire]

so far it ha been the modern issue P-51 after I found out the converter was actually full and the nib/feed had dried out thus wasting a full converter of ink , and my trusty school pen a parker vector

[Nellie]

So far only my bf's new Delike Element and my Saratoga Snorkel (to show that the Snorkel's EF is even finer), but planning to use my Waterman Kultur (with what little remains of the Diamine Candy Cane I put in), my Sheaffer Lifetime Flattop (with its M & M blue mix) and possibly the Moonman/Majohn P136 (Noodler's & Diamine Kelly greens).

Thank you, I live using shimmer in Lamy pens- so easy to clean!

Are you removing the feed to clean it every time?

It's so easy to do, but then I'm always scared that it won't hold properly after a certain number of cleanings!

I usually put shimmer inks in Pilot pens, because it's so easy to remove the feed/nib, but that two part feed is harder to get perfectly clean...

No, at most I remove the nib and clean underneath it. I have a small brush that came with my turntable styli that I use to clean the feed. I suppose if it starts having issues, then I would pull the feed, but it’s been fine so far.
