This, of course, is the stainless steel version of the classic Makrolon (like fibreglas) 2000. It is the exact same shape and uses same internal parts, only the entire body and cap are stainless steel, and hence it has no ink window. It is very heavy, probably the heaviest pen that I own, heavier than brass-bodied Parker Sonnets. It writes exquisitely. I have 2000’s with a Broad and a Medium nib, both broader than their sister Lamy nibs (like on the Safari or Al-Star) which this pen does NOT share. A different nib with a different grind, very much more precise and “worked” than the usual swappable Lamy nibs. There is a sweet spot, moreso on the Broad, but once you learn to land on that sweet spot, the pen writes flawlessly and is smooth as butter.

The little projections from the section that allow the cap to click shut act as locators on an otherwise completely round and smooth section. The only “problem” relates to its weight, and hence its inertia. Palming this pen and moving one’s hands about risks it slipping out and landing point-first, since it is so sleek and tapered. I work in health care, a frantic environment, and I would NOT take this pen to work. I use it exclusively at my desk at home, where it is less likely I will accidentally fling it.

I've had my brand-new stainless steel Lamy 2000 with a fine nib for 19-days. Allow me to highlight what I love, and also share the solitary dislike.I love the simplicity and yet elegance of the design. I love the look and color of the brushed stainless steel. I love the heft of the pen. This is not some castaway; it's a real tool and feels like it. It's got "presence."I confess that I'm not terribly fond of piston filler pens. I have a hard time filling piston filler pens out of sample vials. (I love the color selection of available fountain pen inks and like to change inks fairly frequently, choosing from among dozens of sample vials I have on-hand.) Not so with this brand-new Lamy 2000!

For the first time, I have a piston filler fountain pen that can suck up ink from the very bottom of a small 2-to-3 ML sample vial. It's liberating!! I love that this is the easiest piston filler pen to re-ink that I own!I love the piston filler knob. It works flawlessly and smoothly--like the real tool that it is. Yet, if you weren't looking for it, you can't even see the filler knob and wouldn't even know how to fill it. Even with stainless steel the seam for the knob is virtually invisible.I love the polished look and flexibility of the spring-loaded pocket clip. It fits easily and snugly in my shirt pocket. While I think it's appearance is perfect, I really wouldn't mind having the Lamy name engraved on this shiny clip instead of on the cap. I love the feel of capping and uncapping this pen. It doesn't really produce a clicking sound, but, rather, you feel it make a smooth secure locking-in-place sort of feeling. Furthermore, the cap posts securely on the back end.The writing experience? Like writing on silk! Truly remarkable and smooth! No skipping, no ink flow problems, no scratching. Truly flawless. It worked flawlessly right out of the box, and I haven't done anything at all to the nib, except write with it. Not only is the writing experience buttery smooth, but I am so grateful at not experiencing pain in the callous on my writing finger, even after three-hour writing sessions. Usually this callous is sore or indented from threads or ridges on my other pens--any other pen. I experienced no pain at my callous with this pen. Not only is the nib smooth and flawless, but the pen barrel itself feels completely the same, like a perfect symbiosis of both form and function.So what is my solitary dislike? The weight. But even this is a love-hate issue for me. On the one hand, I love the heft and feel of this pen, but on the other, the weight sometimes causes it to slip from my hand, so-to-speak, because there's almost nothing to hold on to. I say "almost" because I discovered that not only did those little side nibs (the nibs that work to secure the cap) not prove to be annoying to me, but I found them to almost be essential for me to maintain the pen and its rotation in my hand, especially after a couple hours of writing. These nibs didn't bother my writing callous, but I often used my thumb on one of these nibs to hold it in place in my hand.Would I purchase the pen again, if I had the opportunity? Yes, without question. In fact, I want another, and I need to see if it comes with a stub nib.

The Lamy 2000 has been in production since 1966. Its not hard to see why. The design is not flashy but simple, clean and functional. The brushed Makrolon surface feels different from anything else i've handled. Very tactile. The pen sits in the hand comfortably and seems to be just the right size and weight. The construction is very accurate. If you didn't look for the seam for the piston filler you wouldn't notice that it was there. The ink windows are also useful, although you have to line them up to see the ink level easily. The white gold nib writes well. Even with an extra fine nib it feels smooth and lays down a clean consistent line. Some reviews comment on the small sweet spot on the nib but I have't found it to be a problem.

I purchased one of these a while ago from another retailer. The refills are nice and smooth and I get to use one of my favorite pens when a fountain pen may not be the pen of choice! I like the 2000 so much I bought the entire line! If you’re in to hacking your pens, you can hack this pen to fit refills from the UniBall Signo 207! Yay for cheap refills! (I took a spring from a UniBall and cut it. Put some of it up from for added bounce and one in the back to fit the proper length). If you like the 2000, then you’ll like this one too!
The Stainless LAMY 2000 with an EF nib glides as smooth as silk. The art deco design exudes a zen feel and appearance: streamlined elegance, minimalist features, with high performance. I inked it with Diamine ASA Blue. There was no skipping or roughness at all, even when I rotated the nib a little. The design has some heft. I don't mind that. One can always leave it unposted for a lighter session. I'm not a fan of the tiny ears sticking out for the cap to click on, but this minor design feature (probably necessary) doesn't get in the way of performance. I would buy it again. The Makralon version is probably the best way to go if price is a concern on this legendary pen. I've used one and the performance is equal. The stainless adds heft and a Zeppelin look.

Big fan of Lamy and had been saving for a 2000 fountain pen, purchased the rollerball on whim. Yes, it is attractive. As far as the rollerball ink is concerned, I also have a Studio and they both stutter a little bit. Great pens for writing on paper where there’s lots of space- not fine enough for taking notes on college ruled paper. The 2000 has been around for seemingly forever, which I like. The tolerances are excellent- typical of Lamy; the seem to crack it open and replace the ink: it’s invisible.I hate the pins, and wish I’d been alerted to them ahead of time, they’re usually hidden in the pictures. To keep the cap in place, there are two short pins which stick out just about where the viewing window is. The way I naturally hold a pen, they get in the way. ... MoreBig fan of Lamy and had been saving for a 2000 fountain pen, purchased the rollerball on whim. Yes, it is attractive.

Usually, I have to twist the pen slightly to avoid discomfort. You should be aware of these pins. Go ahead and Google: Lamy 2000 pins.
recently purchased a Lamy 2000 Stainless Steel Fountain Pen and it is one of the best pens I have ever owned. The ergonomic grip makes writing comfortable and the solid stainless steel construction makes the pen extremely durable. The ink flows smoothly and the nib is a perfect size for my hand. I would highly recommend this pen to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish fountain pen.
This pen is really a master piece. It shows the beauty of German engineering. Light weight comfortable and durable pen. Anyone who likes to enter into fountain pen's world can start from here. And thanks to Makoba for it's great and prompt delivery.
I ordered the steel (not Makrolon) Lamy 2000 with an M nib. It wrote beautifully, the best pen I've ever used as far as writing performance is concerned. Smooth as silk.Ergonomically however, the pen didn't work for me at all, so bad I was forced to return it and take a 10% hit (restocking fee). This pen is heavy, thick, and featureless, with a slick teflon-like finish. If I relax my grip even a little, the pen will slip through my fingers, so I was constantly vigilant to keep a tight hold on it lest I drop it. This of course tired my hand out pretty quickly - not the $300+ experience I was hoping for.I haven't tried the Makrolon version but I suspect I would have kept it if I had. It's half the weight, and half the cost, of the steel version.So if you're ... MoreI ordered the steel (not Makrolon) Lamy 2000 with an M nib.

It's a beautiful writer but I think most people would do better with the Makrolon version, and save $160 to boot.
Love the heft and feel. The stainless version is a bit heavier than the Makrolon version. It also lacks the little ink level window. Not sure how much I may end up missing that. I have it loaded with Pelican Moonstone ink which seems a perfect match. Very satisfied customer.
