consistent quality

Quickly became my favorite pen. Great quality, as you would expect from Lamy. It’s writes great, simple design- I just love it.

I received a matte black Lamy Studio with a medium nib as a gift from my wife. I like a solid pen with some weight to it and this is just about perfect. The construction is very precise, everything fits flawlessly. It posts well and weight and balance are right on. The medium nib is fantastically smooth. I've since swapped it to a 1.1 stub which is just as nice. My main criticism for this pen - and the reason I deducted a star - is the grip section, and not for what you think. I happen to like the chrome finish. I don't think it is any more slippery than a very smooth resin or polycarbonate grip on other pens. What bothers me is the tapered shape. The way I hold pens, this causes things to feel constantly misaligned and uncomfortable. This is certainly built like a 'workhorse' pen but I find that I get a cramped hand very quickly and cannot use for anything other than short notes. I understand the design here, it was to eliminate the 'step' from the grip section & barrel as well as to have a smooth design while capped. I am an architect and have spent decades drawing & writing with drafting instruments that have thinner barrels and tend to grip a bit higher up, so for me this fatter tapered section isn't my favorite. I do currently have it inked and use it with hopes of finding a comfort zone, but I usually give up and rinse it out and grab another FP instead. Sadly I don't think the 2000 would work for me either since they seem similarly shaped. If you have calibrated your grip to drafting and technical instruments and are sensitive to grip size & shape this may not work for you and you may want to avoid it. However if the fatter tapered grip doesn't bother you, then this is absolutely a 5-star pen just get one!!!

I love the minimal design and beautiful writing experience so much that, when I broke my old LAMY Studio, I immediately ordered a new one.

I purchased this as a gift. I cannot review how it writes at this point as I won't be the one using it...What I can say is it arrived well protected and quickly. The packaging was done well and the box it arrived in is very attractive. I was so impressed with the personal packing and the notecard and little goodie tucked inside that I saved it all to include with the pen itself! I cannot wait to see how excited my son will be when he opens it!! You REALLY present this extremely well!! I would happily order again!!

Good build. I wish I had ordered fine. But A needs one medium In his arsenal.

I love this pen so much I bought a second. Because I lost the first after a single day. Still, a great pen.

I enjoy my Lamy 2000, and so gave this pen a try. Not even close. The nib is an overgrown Safari nib (you're better off with the Safari; it writes better) and the pen does not sit well in the hand. The grip near the nib slips and feels imprecise. Big, heavy, and disappointing.

My Dad is a big pen enthusiast and was very impressed by the quality of your product. Made for a successful Christmas present!

Everything was as I expected. Nice pen, short wait on delivery. The signed card was a good touch. The writer uses the same shade of brown I do.

Came on time, and the pen was easy to setup. Came with a small coupon for a next purchase also

I picked up the Lamy Studio as my second ever Fountain pen. I wanted something sturdy that would last me a long time. The all metal body feels wonderful in the hand and really makes the pen feel like it is made of premium materials. I will explain my ratings on the side:****I only gave the Studio a 4 star for overall look and feel because of the shiny metal grip it has. This is the biggest flaw of the whole pen. if your fingers get a little sweaty it can be hard to grip the pen. if i write too much or it is just a warm day and my fingers get sweaty then i find that i change my grip often just to combat the slipping. Ink flow: I have had no problems with ink flow, it doesn't flow too wet but I rarely ever have skipping while i still have ink left. for writing or note taking it can keep up with quick or slow motionsNib Smoothness: Personally I enjoy the smoothness of this Nib. I barely feel any feed back from the paper at all, which is one of my favorite things about writing with a Fountain pen vs a Ball point. Maintenance: very easy because everything comes apart very easily. i only use a cartridge still (ordering a converter now).

If you are a fan of the Safari and Al-Star, then you will probably like this pen. It uses the same nibs as I'm sure most people will already know. It has excellent heft and weight to it. The Safari and the Al-Star I find to be a little light. The pen feels nice posted, but I wouldn't recommend for long writing sessions due to the heft of the pen. Now the part that might have you on the fence of purchase, the grip section. It's very clearly shiny metal, which is fine for me personally. Like Brian has said before, if you have oily or sweaty hands, this probably isn't the model for you. My only problem with the grip section is that at times it feels a little too large for me. I like my grip sections to be smaller or have a bit of a curve in for my fingers. Overall though I really enjoy this pen and love using it. The Lamy nibs are great and this pen is no different.

I bought the Lamy Studio as my first non-budget fountain pen. It remains my best writer and my go to for quick and easy writing. I have small hands and yet the weight still feels perfect, not too light like some of the cheaper disposables. The extra-fine nib writes perfectly, actually about the same as the fine nib on the pilot metro, but smoother and a little drier. It's a joy to write with.

I love this pen. This was my first pen over the $50 mark. It has a good heft to it. Not heavy though. The clip is a very nice feature since I mainly use this pen at work and keep it in my dress shirt pocket. The cap has a very nice clicking action when closing or taking off the cap. It has the same action when posting the cap as well. I am not a fan of posting the cap on this pen though. It feels too back heavy posted for my tastes. I also like the matte black finish as well. I have used it everyday for two weeks and I have not seen any signs of wear yet. The chrome feed section does not feel slippery either. I was worried about that when I ordered it. I ordered mine with the EF nib. The nib looks more like a fine on paper. Overall I am very impressed and I am planning on ordering the blue one as well. I do not feel any regret at all over the pen itself. I would have actually paid more.

I absolutely love this pen! It's the first time I've ever gone above the $30 price range for a fountain pen, thinking that there couldn't be that much of a difference, but I was wrong! The feel of it in my hand is wonderful! It has a nice weight and balance and writes so smoothly. My one complaint about the pen is that in nesting the cap on the pen while writing leads to marks on the pen.

I used this as one of my daily writers everyday and i have loved everything about it! I have noticed that with a lot of blue inks, it has a hard time starting up... but i rarely ever use blue inks so it doesnt affect me! and if it affects you, its not a huge problem! The grip isnt slippery at all, so thats not an issue either.Highly Reccomend!

The F nib of this pen lays down an excellent line with a very smooth feel, even on (nicer) recycled tablet paper. On Triomphe or Rhodia paper the feel is positively buttery.While the grip section took me a little getting used to, I reach for this pen on a daily basis. It's understated but classy lines and smooth nib feel make this a great value and a great writing companion.Great service from GPC, as always. In particular, I found the Nib Nook and Pen Plaza as excellent tools for selecting the right pen.

Writes well..but difficult to hold, not a fan of the design, but it looks good.

I'm a big fan of Lamy. Their pens are durable, affordable and reliable. My first pen a few years ago was a Lamy Vista and I have bought several more Lamy pens since then. The Studio has excellent weight and balance. It is finished exquisitely and looks like a pen that is far more expensive than it is. It uses the standard Lamy Converter that is available for so many other Lamy pens. The nib is a classic Lamy nib found on the Safari, Vista, Al-Star and several others. I didn't love the chrome section as I found it to be a fingerprint magnet and a little slick. I ordered a black section direct from Lamy USA and it makes the pen far more comfortable for me. If you're looking for a good daily writer that won't break the bank and offers a little more class than your Vista, Safari or Al-Star, the Studio is just the ticket.

Love this pen. The weight is perfect for a more majestic feel. (dreams of glory)The price is conservative and already people are oohing and aahing. Best of all, it came with a converter and the ink flow perfectly.

I hoped to jump in to fountain pens big time by going with an expensive first pen and this was it. I thought it was a little heavy and have had issues with flow keeping up with my pace on a fine nib. It still feels solid, but I have bought two safaris since then and love them more.

Finally broke down and bought the Studio. Cannot say enough about how much I enjoy writing with it. Trying to go back and re-learn cursive writing.... my hand looks just as it did in the third grade!. Great Service and friendship from the Goulets.

I've just purchased the Lamy Studio (matt black), with the standard medium nib and blue ink. This is my first fountain pen in years and I'm currently compiling a professional diary which requires hand written notes as opposed to using a computer. I have always been fussy with pens and carry a pencil case with a wide array of bits but I think this pen is beautiful in every way; from writing, to touch and to durability. I shall be buying more fountain pens of this calibre (UK spelling), in the future.
