Happy to have gotten these 😊

The fit is very snug. The syringe purchased from Amazon India, https://amzn.in/d/06UDDanb for reference

I've wanted this pen for a long time, I only recently got it because I found it at a really good price 🥺

It truly feels like writing on air. It has surpassed my favorite, the Pilot E95S M Burgundy/Ivory. It’s absolutely fantastic, and I’m very happy to own such an incredible pen.

in my collection. What ink would you recommend to enhance that feeling of lightness and smoothness? So far I’ve used Kon-Peki and Lamy T52 Royal Blue.

Up to now, I’ve tried Platinum 3776 B nibs, Lamy steel nibs, Pilot Custom 74, Prera and MR (all medium), TWSBI Eco, Sailor PGS FM, and several Parker, Kaweco and Majohn nibs. None of them feel quite like this wonderful pen. Its reputation is completely deserved.

Hi all Lamy users, just to share my current 2000 collection which I've been using for around 10 odd years, and still going strong.

From top, fountain in M nib, rollerball, multipen, ballpoint and propelling pencil in 0.7mm.

Hey all, I have a Lamy 2000, I have recently replaced the body with a genuine one from Lamy. Every time I pop the cap, it has a band of wet ink around the grip. Any thoughts on why and how to stop it?

Just picked up my first fountain pen and it’s a Lamy Safari Fountain Pen. I noticed a small divot/indent on the grip section right next to the threads by the O-ring.

It doesn’t affect threading or sealing I don’t think, but it’s noticeable and you can feel it slightly with a fingernail.

For those who have multiple Safaris, is this within normal injection molding variation, or would you consider it a QC defect? Would you keep it or exchange it? Any help is much appreciated!

one on left is an Lx Oil-based ballpoint in Palladium, and the one on right is an Lx Fountain Pen in Ruthenium <M> !

And yes, the Lx fountain is still using the included blue cartridge 😭

Finally got my Studio and Strawberry 🥳🥳

Note: they are not available in my home country, so I bought and sent to my brother (living in another country), and waited for his vacation, that took almost 3 months.. 😅😅

Ho questa safari prima serie, alqual’è il suo valore?

Vedevo che ce ne sono poche in giro e solo su ebay

I am new to fountain pens. I grabbed a Pilot Kakuno to see how the experience is and I am rapidly falling down the hole.

I picked up a Lamy Safari as pen #2 and while I really like the feel of the nib on the paper, I am not sure what's going with the shading. The included example is on Clairfontaine paper. The Kakuno puts down a thinner line, but it's darker. The Lamy ink is shading quite a bit. It's much more pronounced IRL.

Is this an artifact of the Lamy ink in their cartridge? Or the nib size? I don't have much experience with either and I'd like pointers to try and get the Lamy to put down a more consistent line.
