What Lamy Are You Using Today?

SAFARI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AidenMark]

Time to give the Design 72/25P an outing. Fabulous broad nib from the late 70s or early 80s.

Studio Palladium EF with Diamine Blue/Black, shows nice shading. Enjoy the nib for sure.

Fine nibbed black Aion. Size and weight and overall design are very satisfactory as far as I'm concerned. Just wondering when the cap will be too loose to snap back on. I'm hoping Lamy will fix this issue eventually. It's still under warranty - we shall see in time (ideally, before said warranty is up).

My sentiments exactly

Do you know where I can find information on the cap loosening thing? Snap caps generally seem to go against our intuition and stay tight for at least decades

[dan in montreal]

Empirical evidence is all I have. My own experience and that of fellow travellers here and elsewhere (FPG and reddit). My cap stays put, but it spins around. I'm thinking the plastic of the inner cap wears down and loosens over time with cap-on / off action. Eventually, I suspect it will not stay on. I'm assuming it might be even worse if I posted the cap - which I don't.

 

I really like the feel of this pen. Even if I've used it sparingly, the cap has loosened significantly over 6 or 7 months.

I'm disappointed Lamy released this model with such a flaw. Whatever you think of the company, it seems out of character.

Inked up my first LAMY today. Up until today it's been Pelikan all the way and I still love them. The medium nib Aion is amazingly smooth... I mean shockingly smooth. I also share concern about the snap cap and will let time provide the answer.

We don't use a ton of Lamys, but just fell in love with the Imporium in titanium - super lightweight!

Super lightweight???

 

I have the Imporium in black, but that is a heavy pen.
