Fountain Pen Users United (FPUU)

That's a beaut. I have a Waterman with a similar finish style, in green.

 

I only have the Lamy 2000. Mine's a great pen but I understand the nibs can be hit and miss on them. I got the extra fine nib and it has a fairly small sweet spot but as long as you're on it, it's an incredibly smooth writer.

 

My experience as a lefty; the clip on the VP gets in the way. The Lamy 2000 is very comfortable for me.

 

I have a Lamy Joy. I just use it to write Christmas & Birthday cards with...

 

My latest acquisition; a black Waterman Carène with a F nib.

 

Ohh, nice

 

On my desk today: Parker Sonnet Flighter, Akkerman Groenmarkt Smaragd

 

I can relate. Ink on my hand has always been a problem.

 

Anyone have this?

 

Looks classy!

 

Don't have one but never heard much bad about them.

 

I have a couple of Lamy Safari pens. Good pens for the money. Make sure and get a converter so you can try out different inks.

 

I had looked into, just never pulled the trigger on a kit. I don't know enough people who know what they are doing to get into it either.

 

I have four - red, yellow, blue and the charcoal you show. Like @Troy M said,get a converter so youcan have fun trying different ink colors.

 

Fantastic.

 

They look good, but how is the quality? I get if you have 4, they must be doing something right.

I meant the balance and weight in the hand, does it feel like you are holding a pen or is it plasticky? =P(I know that's not a word)

It actually comes with 1-2 cartridges and 1 converter. So it good in that front

 

Im just looking right now too. I recently bought a Jinhao 159. And I really love it. I have a cartridge in it now, when it's done I have a bottle of black ink to try it with. Some kind of "Camel" ink haha from India.

 

It is a good stout pen that feels good in the hand. It doesn't feel cheap, or to use your word, plasticy.

 

@Omelmad I ended up with 2 Safari and 2 Alstar from Lamy. I would only suggest that you consider a M nib or pay an extra $10 and get a 1.1 mm stub nib. The F nib for me always seemed a little scratchy but the M is smooth and the stub gives a bit more line variation.

 

Thanks, thats what I wanted to know
