Lamy Studio

[meilleur]

Very cool. Another reason to love my Lamys.

I keep eyeing the blue version (although I want the paladium versions nib), and I keep telling myself I do not need another pen...who am I kidding?

I love the look of the studio. My first fountain pen was the 2000. I was going to get the studio but decided otherwise. Is there any difference in the way the studio writes versus the 2000? I'd like to get the studio, but if it writes the same as the 2000, I'm not so sure I'd want to purchase it.

Wayne, the Studio writes just like the Safari/Al-Star line: very stiff but with good flow, save in the XF (in my experience). Nothing like the 2000.

Based on this review, I bought Greencobra's black Studio with EF nib (and chrome section) and his stainless steel Studio with F nib (and black section). I found I preferred the softer, rubbery feel of the black material, but I much preferred the EF nib. Soooo ... using the instructions given above, I switched out the nibs and put the EF nib on the black section, then used the black section with the black barrel to create the "Stealth Studio" mentioned above!!! It's wonderful !! THanks to all -- both for the original review and the instructions on swapping nibs. I now have one PERFECT Studio, and one quite excellent one (the chrome section looks nice with the stainless barrel) -- a really great deal! HP

now THAT is one cool looking Studio!

Now all you have to do is find the same nib in black steel, and you'll be even stealthier!

You could blue the nib, as in gun metal bluing.

[Hennypenny]

Oh why did you have to put that thought in my head? -- now I'll have to get a black Safari nib and put on there -- then it'll fly under any radar!! :roflmho:

I just received a blue Lamy Studio FP with a fine nib, and discovered just how a fine writing instrument should feel. It has a great modernist look, fine construction, balanced feel, and writes better the more it is written with. I truly love this pen, especially with purple Waterman ink... Finally, this pen is reasonably priced and was well worth the $75 spent. I expect to receive years of use from my Lamy.

I have the Blue Studio in F, and three Palladium Studios; M, F, and Roller Ball. I find the grip on the Blue to be too slippery for me. However, it is the best writing of the bunch. I like the grips on the Palladium pens much better. However, if you are used to the steel nibs on the Safari and other Studios, you will find the gold nibs on the Palladium pens nothing like them. The F writes like a M, and the M is more like a B. Could just be that the gold is more flexible and I am bearing down too hard (these were my first gold nibbed pens). All in all, I believe the Studio series to be one of the best values in "metal" pens. The styling is top notch, as is performance.

I've probably checked out the Studio 3-5 times - on 3 continents, even! - and each time chickened out with the same ol' "Nah! I don't need another pen right now." Admittedly, one of the things steering me away has been my trepidation over the chrome section. So it's reallly good to hear it's not a pain. While here at home in CA it probably wouldn't be too bad, I do work on ships - NOTHING irritates me more than my fingers slipping all over. From what I read here, also, they seem to be pretty solid writers. My parallel would thus seem to be my trusty Rotring 600. That pen is amazingly effective and reliable. I don't think it's coughed up a furball yet. But tell me: how is the cap catch holding out? That's my only real complaint with the 600: the cap just won't stay on well (pocketing out of the question!)

I was thinking about the studio for some months!

 

I have two Lamy 2K and several vintage 27 I really like and wanted some everyday-Lamy.

The Safari was not an option because I dislike the grip section.

 

Last week I have ordered the studio and now I am waiting for the pen to arrive

[RayMan]

I'm waiting for my local pen seller, Pam at Oscar Braun, to get more EF Palladium Studios. I've been wanting to try these pens for some time.

Hoi,

 

the Lamy STUDIO was my first non-noname fountain pen. Bought it for 45 Euro a year ago (incl. converter), don't regret the choice I made. A very reliable, sturdy and beautiful fountain pen (at least in my eyes), my workhorse in the office. Earlier this year, I bought a Lamy LOGO as a worthy companion, stainless steel too. The brushed steel gives you a warm, nice and secure grip - no gliding at all (the Studio has a rubber coated gripsection).

 

Lamy Studio, stainless steel, 1.1 stub, inked with Waterman blue-black.

Lamy Logo, stainless steel, F-nib, inked with Waterman Havana brown.

 

White standard noname 70 g/m2 office paper, with a selfmade notetaking layout. Very little bleeding, no feathering, not smooth but nice to write on. Did I mentioned: cheapest of the cheapest? ^^

Are there cartridges for the Studio? I have Safari cartridges and was wondering if they would work if I bought a Studio.

I was wondering the same, and I finally found it. They both use the T 10 cartridges, so we're safe.

Awesome...that may have sold it for me

My blue Lamy Studio is being shipped out tomorrow from Pendemonium (great to work with--NO affiliation). It was ground to a 1.1mm stub. I'm looking forward to seeing the cool design up close, the slighty tacky feel to it, and how smooth the nib is. My plan is to fill it w/ PR Black Magic Blue.

[Grog]

I just received my SS Studio.

 

It is a good looking pen, and I like how it feels, but, well, it IS very very dry.

 

I ordered a bottle of Noodler`s Black at the same time and used that for the first filling, which may not have been the best idea to make this wetter.

 

What inks do you use with that pen? I was thinking of using the Studio as my "dedicated black ink" pen, but am open to other suggestions...
