Lamy Imporium - Black/gold

[Inked]

I went to my local pen shop and they said that unfortunately there aren't official Lamy spare parts for the imporium yet since it's so new.

 

So I will have to wait a bit longer to upgrade my safari with the lovely imporium nib.

 

When I bought a 2nd nib for my Persona, Lamy supplied it as whole lower screw in section.

 

I could not just get the nib. I now have two complete lower sections, and I just screw them on and off, just as when I fill the convertor with ink.

Does anyone know if/when this will be sold in the US?

Is it possible to take the nib off, and how much did you pay for it?

[migo984]

A friend calls this the Impersona. I thought that was quite funny :-)

[visvamitra]

Well I find the pen rather nice but to be honest I prefer to find used Persona.

I have had this pen for a long time, bought mid 90's.

 

I think I purchased the nib section from Lamy USA in early 2000's for about $150~$175? Not sure.

 

I have never tried to separate the nib from the section, and frankly, never will.

I have no desire to do so.

My arrangement for the Persona works great.

Great looking pen you got there!

 

Was actually very excited that they were going to re-release the Persona...until I found out the price, and almost no update in technical or design components. (how do they justify the price hike then?) I was hoping for at least a piston filler maybe.

 

anyway, I hope you enjoy the pen! It's a great looker that's for sure!

side note: I like the trim combo you chose the best

[Owner of a Lonely Heart]

Thanks! I think this trim was the coolest looking

[bureaudirect]

Very nice, thank you.

Black gold nib is really something else!

The Lamy nib is surprisingly fitting

Thanks for the review and sharing your experience with the Lamy Persona!

I just picked one up on sale and it really is an interesting pen. Heavier and 'girthier' than I expected but in a great way. It's very well done and while I think Lamy has overpriced it in the US I'm in complete agreement with this great review. Easily one of the most interesting modern pens I've come across.

I agree that it was larger and heavier than I was expecting but I think it is a good thing for me and my hands at lwast.

It's definitely selling well too - just ordered the black on black model from Joy at Pen Boutique and it's back ordered by a few weeks.

No kidding! I wasn't sure at the price that it was going for that it would be so popular but I'm just glad I snagged one!

Went to Houston last Wednesday to see my daughter, do some shopping and visit with the Dromgoole brothers at the shop. I was determined NOT to buy a pen

until Larry laid out the three different expressions of this bad boy!!! I immediately lost all resolve and left with the black/gold one in F nib. It was the first one sold in Houston. Pricey but nice.

[Owner of a Lonely Heart]

Haha that's great, I also found the black/gold one to be the coolest looking. Congrats!

[steelblue]

Congratulations! Hope you're enjoying it - you influenced me to change my order for the black-black to the black-gold, not usually a fan of gold but it really does look better on this one.

Great write up! Here's mine... Fine nib... Absolutely stunning! Can't wait to break her in...
