Lamy Dark Lilac inked with lamy dark lilac ink...

[inkstainedruth]

My first Lamy was a Dark Lilac Safari.  

I'm now kicking myself that I didn't buy a third bottle of the Dark Lilac ink when I had the chance....

I bought my bottle just recently after looking for it for more than a year. I do not think I will come acroos another one here in Turkey.

Just now used my Dialog CC Blue EF. It's a hard starter, though--always have to dip it in water before it will write. Nice nib.

I'm a big fan of Lamy 2000 fountain pens and have owned 5 or 6 over the past 10 years in various nib sizes.  I currently own and use a Fine and an Extra Fine.  The line width is similar, but the F is much wetter than the EF which makes for a much bolder line.

 

The writing sample is with Iroshizuku Tsukushi.

I was comparing my week old Safari with my newly arrived today Vista. Why? I wanted to know if the left handed set up on the former made any difference from the regular Vista nib - and I wanted to be able to use green and blue inks!  Yes, I am a kid with new toys.  Guilty as charged. 🙂

And the verdict is???

I'm using two Lamy's: A 2000 with a Broad nib, ground to crisp cursive italic by Michael Masuyama - What a wonderful writer! And a dark blue Dialog CC with a Fine nib. The latter was a disappointment initially. I loaded it with an ink I didn't document and can't remember. The pen wrote well, except it would dry out and needed a dip in water to write again. I emptied the converter, flushed the nib and installed a Lamy cartridge. It doesn't dry out any more. I'm liking how it writes.

I am not fit to say yet TBH ParramattaPaul. I am switching back and fore and each visit with each pen raises new questions for me. I suspect it is all a matter of technique and either pen nib combination can produce good results, or be let down by poor technique.  I use tools a lot and know you have to put the hours in to learn how to use them best, so this doesn't worry me as long as the promise of better results lies ahead.
