Some forecast for 2019 emerged on the net. New Joy, Aion, Safari, Studio, and the very confusing AL-Star and Lx. See here: https://frankunderwater.com/2018/12/30/a-peak-into-lamys-2019-special-editions/

My almost new Lamy Joy stopped posting. That is, the cap just floats around on the pen body, rather than seating. I fished around inside the cap and unbent some "fins" inside the cap. That partially restored the posting. I'm assuming they got bent because I carry the pen in my pocket and sometimes it unscrews a little. Maybe that allowed the front half of the pen to distort those fins? Anyone else have problems with the Joy posting? I have a friend with one, about eight months old, and it posts just fine. But she keeps it in her purse. I really like the pen, but the posting problem is annoying. And shouldn't be happening. It's also problematic because I'm using the 1.1 stub which I REALLY LIKE. But you can only get the stub in the Joy. It's not available (at least in the USA) in any other pens.

Hey there, I really like the look of the Lamy joy and have had a really good experience with Lamy nibs so far. I was wondering, would be suitable for everyday note taking (with the 1.1 nib)? I have never used a calligraphy nib before; do they take any adapting too? Thanks

Show your LAMY off! I want to see differnt LAMYs, different years, different nibs, different inks! Sorry for bad pic, at lab, had idea.

Lamy Joy Calligraphy single pen and gift set is now available in white!!! The single Lamy Joy comes only in a 1.5mm however they are nib switchable. We carry all point sizes in the individual nibs. The gift set contains the 1.5mm pen and an extra 1.1mm and 1.9mm nib section in the box along with 3 packs of cartridges : Black,Turquoise and Violet. The LZ 24 Converter would need to be purchased separately. You can place your order by phone. Or if you have any question you can email. 1800-263-2736 or 410-992-3272 Support@penboutique.com

Hey guys, here's a written review of the Lamy Joy with a 1.5mm Italic Stub nib. I haven't seen any reviews for this pen/nib combination, so here goes nothing! Sorry for any seemingly confusing information, this is my first review. Sorry if my handwriting isn't all that good, it never has been. I really cannot figure out why the pictures are uploading sideways, so my advance apologies. Let me know what you think, and enjoy!

I had a horrible experience. I could not find my edc, my go-to pen:a matte black Pilot Capless (or Vanishing Point). I travel about from office to office and worried I had left it behind or worse it had slipped out of my bag on the Tube. I could not put my hands on my pen. I went to my bag and turned that inside out. I went to my wardrobe and searched the pockets of every jacket I had worn recently. Then I did it again. I went through my desk. I went through files and folders I had used. I could not find my little baby. I went on websites to price a replacement. I could not imagine life without it. I was starting to obsess about a black inanimate object. Its not like it was my only pen. I have a 30 odd pens, but this was my go to edc ready for anything ,smooth as you like Pilot Capless. So I was packing my bag to go to work this morning. I had to take my laptop and its power cable which I keep in a Eagle Creek Pack-It bag. “I wonder, if I put my pen in here?” I thought, remembering I had swept my desk clutter into the cable bag as I left an assignment last week. Well, Joy of Joys, there was my little baby lost among a coiled up power lead! I have been reunited with my little baby. It was then I realised that I need to recognise I have an addiction to fountain pens. What is it with these things that the loss of some metal object got me like that? Am I alone? btw: the image is from FP Geeks:http://fpgeeks.com/2012/06/pilot-vanishing-point-black-matte-the-awesome-review/

Hi folks, I am a little puzzled. If the nib, section and ink reservoir are the same, what exactly is the difference between the Lamy Joy and Lamy Vista apart from body shape? Does the body shape play a significant part in the application of calligraphic skills? The reason that I ask is that the Vista can be had for half the price of the Joy. Your thoughts, as always, appreciated.
