What Lamy Are You Using Today?

[Honeybadgers]

The only two I have worth using, my 2000 (EF /w birmingham sport donnelly grass stain) and a CP-1 (B nib, Hero blue)

[1nkulus]

Dialog 3 w/ R&K Blu Mare

 

CP1 w/ R&K Salix

[TSherbs]

Loving my Nexx today. The grip helps ease the pain of correcting hundreds of pages of student writing at the end of a trimester.

[Kpp80202]

I'm using both my "stealth" Safari (F) and my silver Aion (F). Like them both for different reasons.

 

Can't wait to try my new 2000; it should be on its way from the seller soon...

[pajaro]

Aquamarine Safari italic 1.5.

[Gerd W]

CP1, Black matte

[Kpp80202]

I’ll be using my 2000 (F) today. (It finally arrived!)

[praxim]

Lamy Imporium again, filled with Pelikan Edelstein Ruby. Given I use the colour only occasionally, it could be in rotation for a while.

Great pen. Top of the current line!

 

 

D.ick

[praxim]

I agree about its quality, D.ick. I once attempted to satirise the fact that it took 2.5 turns to undo the cap. Since buying a modern Onoto with 3.5 turns, the Imporium is feeling perfectly normal and I have always enjoyed its slightly unusual style, with linear ribs on the barrel and concentric on the section. Excellent nib in the modern smooth fashion, stylish yet practical clip, good attention to detail. It is worthy of its Lamy flagship position.

CP1 w/ Salix

Logo w/ Sargasso Sea

It is worthy of its Lamy flagship position.

The Imporium is the only pen with a screw cap in the Lamy lineup.

As for the flagship, IMO, it ought to be the Dialog 3 (unique, presence).

[Bill Smith]

Rolling with my Petrol Safari with XF nib inked up with Diamine A Leap of Faith (a very dark blue-purple exclusive for Phidon Pens).

[pajaro]

Dark Lilac Safari with dark lilac ink. EF nib. A great carry pen. I bought two, in case I break one.

[AllieT]

My lovely Al-Star Dark Purple. Medium nib with Diamine Grape.

[1nkulus]

Vista w/ Noodler's BSB

(yes, it has been sacrificed).

[praxim]

Added the makrolon 2000 to the rotation, with GvFC Violet Blue.

[sentience]

The Imporium is the only pen with a screw cap in the Lamy lineup.

 

The Accent also has a twist cap.

[Namo]

The Accent also has a twist cap.

The Persona too.

Aquired both my Lamys at the same time, and find one far more preferable than the other. Not intending to P anyone off, but I have just set aside my stainless steel Lamy Studio EF, and filled up my Graphite Lamy Al Star w/ medium point. Both nibs are stellar, but I must confess the Al Star just feels cheap, chintzy even, and I DONT mean in comparison to my Studio. Both in construction and in ink flow, I'd compare the Al Star to one of its Chinese knockoffs, which might even win in comparison if we measure price against performance. I dont think the Al Star will be much used, and I may pass it to one of my children, if they were remotely interested.

I have a similar opinion of the Al Star and Safari.

My Vista has been sacrificed to Noodler's BSB.
