If I had bought this first I'd probably never have bought another Fountain pen ever. Once i raised the money to buy one i kept by passing it. Maybe it was a disappointing safari experience ( safari grip I'm not wild about, converter having to buy it sep, and nib is so stiff but are good) ... but this... its absolutely perfect, balance weight, nib feel and everything!! Its so simple and so great all at once

Finally pulled the trigger on this pen. Thank you, Brian and Drew, for convincing me to finally make purchase. Glad I got EF nib; this is a gusher and writes like a med.

It writes thick lines, and it's very smooth on the paper. Plus the material is slick looking and durable. I haven't taken it on a plane yet but I have no doubt that I can as that's another signature feature of the pen. It lives up to expectations.

This pen is by far the best pen I have ever owned! It writes very smoothly and has no issues with leaking! The piston refill mechanism is very easy to work with and you hardly notice it was there! It's a little expensive but definitely worth the investment!

I decided to purchase Lamy 2000 (EF nib) last month after a very long time of evaluating and re thinking whether I really should go for it or no, now one month later after using it as may daily writer, I can really say it's the best fountain pen I've used so far, it has a very smooth nib which makes writing really enjoyable every time I pick the pen, every time I pick it it's always wet and writes immediately without any signs of dryness, the grip and the weight is perfect once you find the right balance,I highly recommend it and it's truly masterpiece!

So far, this gem has been a wonderful, smoothe writer, even with an extra fine nib. It is initially paired with DeAtrementis Black Rose; and, the pair is perfection.

I'm a little disappointed with this pen. Watched the Goulet videos and found finding the "sweet spot" of the nib as challenging as advertised. My difficultly is the ink flow is not reliable. I have used the pen for 3 weeks.

I selected the Extra Fine nib since most of my experience has been with Japanese Medium Fines, so I was trying to ease my way into European nibs. Honestly, this pen really lays down out a lot of ink in comparison, so I was pretty shocked when I first put it to paper. Though, I must say that I am in no way displeased. It’s simply a different design with its own character, and I absolutely love that. The line variation between vertical and horizontal strokes is pretty significant in my example (horizontal is maybe 2x thicker), which encourages me to write a little bigger. So far, the “sweet spot” feels totally fine to me. I am a big fan of feedback, so the slight tactile and audible feedback from the 2000 makes the nib feel smooth yet controlled and connected to the page. Overall, I really couldn’t be happier and am glad to have the Lamy 2000 in my collection. It’s refreshing to rotate between pens and have a truly enjoyable change-up in the daily writing experience.

I have owned two LAMY 2000. My first, was an . It was clear the pen was remarkably well made, but I just didn't ever "bond" with the pen. My second was a . The pen and I "bonded" the moment I picked it up. I first inked it up with Diamine Oxford Blue, and have not had the heart to change inks. The 2000/DOB pen/ink combination is perfect for me. I have never experienced the "sweet spot" in this pen. Almost any manner in which I hold it seems to be the sweet spot for me. This pen has gone to work with me every single day since I got it. It is a perfect professional pen. It has signed contracts, government documents, certificates, and taken notes flawlessly. Every time I pick it up, it just writes. I am fairly new to the fountain pen hobby and was trying to find a gold nib pen that would match my writing style. I emailed Grant and told him I am a big guy, heavy handed when I write, and was looking for a gold nib pen. Grant steered me towards the LAMY 200 as I write heavy handed and it had a reinforced nib via the partial nib hood. Thank you, Grant, for steering me in the right direction. If you are looking for a robust, well designed, tank of a pen, with a gold nib, look no farther. Just buy it.

Great pen, an iconic one at that to add to your collection. The “sweet spot” makes the pen more rewarding when you get it right, and calls for greater mindfulness. I equate it to a professional golfer choosing a “blade” iron instead of cavity-backed for better feel, despite them being less forgiving.

I was between the medium and fine, given I like bold lines, and tried both. The fine is better for me and I imagine for most people. If you are between the two nib sizes, I would recommend fine.

I love my new pen. I lost my Lamy 2000 with a medium nib and decided to get a new one with a Fine one. I love it!

The pen is as described. It has a solid feel and feels good in my hand. I ordered the extra fine nib. The writing result is not as narrow as I would have preferred, but it is adequate. I also discovered that by rotating slightly how the nib contacts the paper that I can achieve a narrower writing result.

I have multiple LAMY fountain pens, the Studio, AL-Star, and Safari. The 2000 is the best writer once you learn the proper angle. I'm left-handed so I use EF nibs. The Studio and AL-Star are just as precise and more forgiving on nib angle for a lefty. This is an awesome pen but it takes a little patience to master it for lefties.

With all that I've heard and read about it, I was worried that it would be a little underwhelming when I actually got it. It was not. Out of the box, it wrote well. Being used to Japanese nibs, the EF was more like a medium to me. Nevertheless, it is a joy to write with. If you've been on the fence - just buy it. It is a pretty penny, but if it writes like this, I can see myself writing with it for a long time.

An elegant minimalist pen. The extra fine nib I got with mine is perfect for my somewhat cramped writing. The pen is a perfect weight for writing long letters and journal entries.

The extra fine nib is perfect for writing in journals and calendars. I’m so pleased with the pen. It is the perfect shirt - pocket companion and I find myself creating reasons to use it.

I got a broad nib lamy 2000. Came from the factory with a baby’s bottom. Running it over some micro mesh completely resolved it, and now it writes like a dream, but I’d prefer a $200+ pen to have better QC.

That said: it writes super smooth now, and the aesthetic is so so cool. It’s already become one of my go to pens. Feels great in the hand, well balanced, and the makralon is perfectly grippy and textured. It also doesn’t feel slippery if your hands have a bit of grease on them. Love love love this pen.

Definitely get one, but beware of QC. You can always return it or fix it yourself until it’s perfect, but when it’s perfect, it’s soooo perfect haha. Totally worth the gamble in my opinion.

Writing with this pen is smooth, but not in a good way. It seems to write like a medium nib even thou I bought a Extra Fine. I tried the pen with blue ink from brand called Jacques Herbin. The pen with a hood does keep nib wet.

If you use any fountain pen ink with pigment particles. Starts to cake up the pen and leave behind filmy residue that block up the pen from writing well. Make sure to use regular fountain pen that's not water resistance.

Concusion, I don't really like this pen that much, it writes like a medium. You can get a same result using Muji fountain pen.

This pen is like writing on air. The pen writes VERY smoothly across the paper gliding with no effort at all. As of now this is my favorite pen!! My Grail!! And I thought it was my Conklin….

helpful, fast, great results, Grant was very personable.

Just unboxed and its exactly the pen everyone claims it is. I like the medium and now im considering getting the fine nib next time. This one is as smooth as butter for sure.

Great pen, sorry I waited so long to buy it.

Smooth as greased owl ****

Love this Pen! I’m glad I finally pulled the trigger
Nice and smooth and haven’t had any problems
I like the hooded nib and easy for me to position my grip. Also I always am amazed when the piston disappears from view when it retracts
As for the writing I feel like my penmanship improves when using this pen maybe because how easy it is for me to grip
Anyways highly recommend it if you’re thinking about getting one

This is a very good pen. I chose the EF after visiting with Grant and I couldn’t be happier.

Ed nib is good

After hearing all the rave reviews of this pen, I had to experience one for myself. Goulet Pens was selling these at an unbelievably great discount at the time of purchase, so I didn't hesitate. So glad to now own one, and it really is something of a "gold standard" fountain
pen.

Being a lefty, it took me a bit to get comfortable with it, but I'm happy to say that it has become one of my favorite "Go-To" pens. It writes VERY
smoothly, and almost seems to glide effortlessly across the page.

The ink window, as some have observed, is pretty difficult to see, especially for people like myself, who don't have very good eyesight.

That being said, I love this pen!
