Yes, this is quite an expensive pen, but it's not a very expensive pen. As such, you'd expect it to write beautifully and be well made. This pen is far better than that, and there's good reason that ith as been in production since 1966. This pen is such a refined, minimalist design, using quality materials and fine engineering - it's just superbly made and feels wonderful to handle and write with. You can certainly spend a lot more on a pen, and have it look a lot more flashy with gold trim, colourful materials, engravings etc., but it's unlikely to write much better than one of these. I've been into pens for may years, and now I've got one of these, I really don't know why I didn't get one sooner. I chose a broad oblique nib for mine (not everyone's choice), and ... MoreYes, this is quite an expensive pen, but it's not a very expensive pen.

I have wanted to buy the Lamy 2000 for a long time, but I was hesitating due to the number of formidable options at the price point.I am very impressed by the pen. The shape is really comfortable in the hand, and the weight is just right. You can write for hours without any fatigue. I tend to hold the pen right where the posting points of the cap are, but there is no discomfort at all. A solid 10/10 for the design and ergonomics.The nib definitely has a sweet spot, which is a little small, but when you find it, there isn't a better writing pen out there. A good 9/10 here. A point off for the small sweet spot.The ink capacity is bigger than a cartridge/converter. I find it more convenient as I don't change inks too often.As others have mentioned, the clip is on ... MoreI have wanted to buy the Lamy 2000 for a long time, but I was hesitating due to the number of formidable options at the price point.I am very impressed by the pen.

But I find it holds on to the pocket well enough and the pen has never slipped off in my experience.I can see myself having this as an EDC for decades without getting bored of the pen.

This pen is an astonishingly good writer, when writing the way it is supposed to. Be aware, this pen DOES have a sweet spot! Due to the way Lamy grinds these nibs, if you have the pen rotated in your hand too far to either side, it will not write at all. However, despite that, with just a couple days of practice I find that I almost never got a false start from having it in the wrong position. Writing with this pen for several months now, I do not even notice that the sweet spot is there. Your hand will learn to naturally find the spot every single time. And once you find that sweet spot, oh how sweet it is. I find myself reaching for this pen about 90% of the time. In fact, I have to force myself to leave this pen uninked so that my other pens get a chance to ... MoreThis pen is an astonishingly good writer, when writing the way it is supposed to.

I sometimes sit and write nonsense in my journal for far longer than I usually would, just for the excuse to use this pen. I take notes at work I wouldn't normally take, just for an excuse to use this pen. I track my workouts by hand, rather than in a spreadsheet, just for an excuse to use this pen. It truly is an addictive writing experience. I got the Fine nib, which writes a little closer to what I typically expect from a medium, but it is still fine enough for close writing. I was surprised by the hand feel of this pen. From viewing the pictures, and seeing the pattern they sand into this, I expected it to be a little more tactile, but it absolutely baby bottom smooth (not the nib though. No baby's bottom there!). The seam from the black polycarbonate body to the stainless steel grip section is completely indiscernible to my hand, as is the seam on the back of the pen for the filling mechanism. In fact, the seam on the back of the pen is completely indiscernible to the ***** eye. At $220, this is not the cheapest gold nib pen you can get, but it is on the lower end of that product price line. For that $220 you can a pen that is 10 times the quality and value of many more expensive options. If you do not own a gold nib pen, this is the one for your first. If you DO own a gold nib pen, get this one too. If you only ever buy ONE pen, make it this one!

I've been fascinated with the design of the 2000 since the beginning of my interest in pens. I've had a ballpoint for a while, but the cost of the fountain pen version seemed hard to justify. I finally sprang for it and I couldn't be happier.Fit and finish is exceptional, the piston is very smooth, and it has the most satisfying capping/posting feel I've experienced. My fine nib is very smooth and I haven't experienced a single skip or dry start. It's the perfect nib for my daily writing: wet enough for a pleasant experience but not a firehose, and a comfortable line width for 5mm dot grid. I find the unibody grip extremely comfortable, and the deep posting gives it excellent balance in the hand. As a side note, I own quite a few vintage pens (Sheaffer Balance, ... MoreI've been fascinated with the design of the 2000 since the beginning of my interest in pens.

Thrilled I took the plunge and that I bought from the fine folks at Goulet!
I usually lean toward EF or Fine nib pens but wanted something that would put down more ink since I want my sheening inks to shine. I was torn between a Fine or Medium nib, and having heard that the Lamy 2000's are broader than usual, I went with a "F". My handwriting is on the smaller side so I belive a Medium would have been too broad. The Fine is definitely thicker than any of my TWSBIs and Kaweco's that I own in EF and F, but it's not too broad that my handwriting becomes eligible. My inks sheen, shimmer and shade like no other pen I own and it is SO SO smooth!It has become my favorite pen in my collection so far and I would recommend anybody pick one up if they are on the fence! It's got a fantastic reputatino for a reason!
The size/weight, feel, balance, finish, and look of the pen is wonderful. The cap posts very firmly on both ends of the pen--I love the 'snap' when covering the nib end. Filling it is very easy and quick and not messy. Nib removal is easy for cleaning. I also like the hooded nib in that it doesn't advertise itself as being a fountain pen. I'd give it a 4.5 out of 5 for smoothness on standard paper.As for flow, this pen is quite wet and will produce a fairly bold line on standard copier papers (Ink is Pelikan Brilliant Black). Mine has a Fine nib and perhaps, in retrospect, should I have selected the Extra Fine one? I figured when ordering, I'd rather have fatter lines vs getting a rougher, smaller point. Since both nibs have straight slits, my guess is either ... MoreThe size/weight, feel, balance, finish, and look of the pen is wonderful.

Since both nibs have straight slits, my guess is either thickness will conduct lots of ink regardless of the nib size. My Aion (F) whose tines I made to touch at their ends when at rest (which I've done to all my pens) and which has a larger nib surface than this 2000, actually makes a thinner line. On the other hand, writing with my 2000 on Rhodia dot paper is nice and produces a lineweight about where I want it. But make no mistake--this is a very fine pen on all levels.
I selected the EF nib after reading all kinds of reviews. I was looking for an everyday use fountain pen that I don’t have to baby. However, I was unwilling to compromise on high quality. The LAMY 2000 in EF fits that bill well for me. It has generous ink capacity, writes smooth, it’s well-designed in its simplicity, and it’s comfortable in the hand. And Goulet’s customer service, fast shipping, and thoughtful packaging sets them apart. Thank you for the ink sample too! I don’t think I would have ever tried the Manyo Ume color on my own. Thanks Goulet!
As always, the “buying experience” at Goulet Pens was excellent, right down to the inserts about fountain pen filling and care, and the personally signed cards from employees. And the lollipop.The broad nib Lamy 2000 I recieved is exactly as ordered; no complaints there. I’m just having some difficulty getting used to how it writes, with some skipping on initial downstrokes — probably due to my grip. It IS very smooth, and I expect that as we become more accustomed to each other, all will be well.The Lamy 2000 is a bit of a grail pen for me, but after realizing that I could buy another for the same price as one trip to Costco, I’m thinking about getting an additional one with a fine nib. We’ll see.Thanks
My grandmothers inheritance gift bought this pen. Someday, I hope this pen will be passed to a grandkid, carrying on a lineage of writing with fine instruments. I have often considered the caliber of a professional to be noticeable by their choice of tools and equipment. Writing is no different. Quality prefers quality. I have admired this pen for several years. As a Lamy, it writes like a dream. But the style; that is what steals the show. From the textured material, the fit in the hand, to the hooded nib... this pen has a penosh not common anymore. It's subtle yet prominent. While I have more expensive pens, this one out performs all of them. I have been using "writers blood" which I find humorously appropriate.

It writes just a bit wider than I have preferred in the past (I tend to stick to around 5mm, while this writes about 6-7mm), but I cannot help but throw that to the side due to the absolute pleasure this pen is to use. I am journaling more, party due to this pen (and the writings of Marcus Aurelius). This has become so very cherished so very quickly.
The lamy 2000 has a good track record because it was made in 1966 and the design has not changed since, piston filler for a Gorgeous ink capacity , ridiculously smooth gold 14k nib , the combination of durable makrolon and stainless steel mean it will last for years to come , and mine is a extra fine and it is very smooth and realllllly good for drawing so it makes shading large areas on an a4 paper size easily. If its so perfect why don't more people talk about it or buy it more? simple , because its not pretty. Guys the fact that the lamy 2000 is not as beautiful as a pilot custom 823 or a visconti homosapien or a montblanc is literally the ONLY reason that fountain pen collectors and users don't buy it more which is kinda of sad because the price makes it ... MoreThe lamy 2000 has a good track record because it was made in 1966 and the design has not changed since, piston filler for a Gorgeous ink capacity , ridiculously smooth gold 14k nib , the combination of durable makrolon and stainless steel mean it will last for years to come , and mine is a extra fine and it is very smooth and realllllly good for drawing so it makes shading large areas on an a4 paper size easily.

And when I say this is smooth I mean it is smooooooooooth. And if your considering either the makrolon vs the stainless steel version just get the makrolon version because its almost half the price and the ink window makes the pen more fun and if the pen is fun then you will use it more than your expensive pens. I've been using my lamy 2000 ef makrolon more than my custom 823's and my montblanc's simply because I have more fun using it than my more expensive pens lol.
