2000 silver - elegant fountain pen in a velvety matt polished stainless steel barrel - 14 ct. gold nib, partially platinum-plated - nib size M

For a fountain pen is a good pen, if you like heavy is the best, just remember is a fountain pen and cannot be used like a pencil, you have to hold it in a different way it means that if you have not try fountain pens before start with a cheap one

Love the flexible nib!

The pen leaks constantly out of the hooded nib. Whenever I try to use the pen, the cap is filled with leaked ink and creates a mess. Furthermore, while using it, the nib drips excess ink onto the paper and my hand. This is, by far, the worst pen I have ever owned. I wrote the seller to tell them about the problems I am having with the pen, but they have been unresponsive and unhelpful.

Such an amazing pen. Beautiful to look at and super smooth writing. The only issue is the nib size. Get one size smaller than you think as the nib runs a little thick.

I own the original Lamy 2000 and love it. The steel version is visually beautiful so I thought why not, I’ll add it to my collection. With medium nib, it writes nicely. But boy is it heavy! It’s like a Sherman tank compared to the light and airy Makralon original. Also, the machining, the smoooth, satiny functioning of the filler in the original is missing. The steel version is comparatively clunky. I do not recommend it.

The main practical difference between the original makrolon Lamy 2000 and the stainless steel version are weight and texture. This pen is very heavy. It weighs 36g without the cap. 55g while posted. The pen is beautifully balanced though, and even after writing several pages it doesn't start to feel weighed down or cumbersome. Unlike some heavy pens this one is definitely not just a show piece. More important to me is the texture. The original's Makrolon body has a rough almost porous feel, almost akin to paper. For some this might not matter. But I'm very sensitive to touch, and I hated the feeling of it on my fingers. The brushed steel of this version is textured enough for good grip but is smooth to the touch. It feels wonderful in the hand. Beyond those two things it is more or less identical to the original. It has a semi-hooded platinum finished 14 kt gold nib. It is extremely smooth and glides across the paper. The medium nib has a very healthy flow, though it's a little finer than nibs from some other German penmakers like Pelikan. (But still much broader than a Japanese pen would be.) It is also absolutely GORGEOUS. Especially with the cap removed and the hooded nib on full display. This is one of my favorite pens still in production. I highly recommend it.

I've had his pen since my first year of college and it's been my faithful companion since. Makes taking notes fun because the pen is such a joy to use, and it writes beautifully. Highly recommended!!

lovely pen

Siempre me ha gustado la calidad de los productos Lamy y esta no fue la excepción, estoy más que satisfecho con mi compra

I have a small addiction to fountain pens. I have purchased a Parker Sonnet, 2 Waterman Carenes, a Parker 100 and have the remains of a very elderly Parker 61. None of them the bomb proof feel of this pen. Also, this pen just works and I get a sense of no nonsense with this Lamy 2000. Why? One, it just works until the ink runs out. Two, it is hooded so no inky fingers if I hold the pen near the nib (I am looking at my Waterman Carenes while saying that). Three, it doesn't skip or dry start while using it. (I am looking at my Parker 100 now). Four, it is a nail. By that I mean that there is very little flex in the nib, which I happen to be a fan of. (I would be looking at my Parker Sonnet with it golden broad nib, but I lost it.) Five, it is well built out of steel, so in my view it should last. (I am looking at the Parker 61 with its cracked plastic hood that can't be replaced easily.) Nib wise, I have the medium which is finer than my medium Waterman Carene. I normally get broad nibs, but needed a smaller nib to do degree level maths with and this is skinny enough to handle tiny subscripts of a subscript, but I don't want to go any smaller. There are two downsides to this pen, one is the lack of warning about the pen running out. It is fairly wet to write with when first fill and slowly get a touch drier as the ink level reduces, but it gives no warning about running out. I don't mind this as I always have a bottle of ink with me. The pen is filled by poking it into an ink bottle and turning the end of the pen in and out a couple of times, so no option for using cartridges. The other downside is the weight of the pen, it is my heaviest pen, but I don't mind as I have big paws. I am happy with how smooth the gold nib is, as it is my smallest nib. It glides with just a touch of toothiness but I find it quite sensitive to being rotated off its smoothest position. I would like to end by saying that this pens looks good, it is curved in a pleasing way, but looks nothing like the 180 odd pounds spent on it. If a fountain pen needs to make a statement of bling, get another but if you just want a workhorse of quite reliability, get this one if spending £180 on a pen doesn't seem mad to you.

Ich habe sehr lange überlegt, ausprobiert, geschrieben und weiter gesucht... Der Lamy 2000 in Edelstahl (Feder M) gleitet nahezu über das Papier und liegt sehr gut in meiner Hand. Anpressen brauche ich nicht, den notwenigen Druck bringt der Füller selbst durch sein Gewicht auf das Papier. Ob man diese Gewicht mag bzw. auch längere Texte damit schreiben kann, sollte man sehr gut vor dem Kauf ausprobieren. Bei mir passt es; und ich schätze den Füller wirklich sehr. Seine Form ist klassisch (auch wenn das Original aus Makrolon natürlich der wahre Klassiker ist...), seine Kappe sitz fest und ist zugleich bei schnellem Einsatz doch einhändig abnehmbar. ich hatte noch keinerlei Verschmutzungen durch auslaufende Tinte, und auch sein Tintenfluss der M-Feder ist so gut bemessen, dass ich bislang nichts verwischt habe, obwohl ich ansonsten dazu neige. Hatte bislang einen Pelikan M400; den Lamy ziehe ich in jeder Hinsicht vor. Zur Auswahl beim Kauf standen gegen Ende der Suche der 800er Pelikan sowie der 146er Montblanc, beide mit Feder in M. Ich weiß, dass preislich sehr viel Raum zwischen den Füllfederhaltern liegt, mir geht und ging es lediglich um die "persönliche Ästhetik" sowie das persönliche Schreibgefühl. Und so bin ich wirklich sehr froh, annähernd gegen Ende meiner Suche noch auf den Lamy gestoßen zu sein! Noch ein Wort zum Preis: Hier bei e-Shop Mühlheim habe ich deutlich gegenüber dem UVP von 260,-€ gespart, der Füller wurde sehr schnell geliefert und ich fühle mich (bislang) als Kunde gut aufgehoben. Danke!

Just one disclaimer - I'm a big fan of Medium nib and usually buying medium nib pens and pretty satisfied with the line thickness. However this pen is quite different in all the aspects: - The line is more closer to broader nib then to medium nib, if you want to have thin lines - go for fine nib or even to extra fine. Let's say with that pen M=B and F=M. - The writing is easy due to heavy weight of the pen - it can draw the line using it's own weight. - The pen is quite heavy, if you don't like heavy weight - go for lighter version of the lamy 2000 - macrolon one. - This pen requires quite a specific grip - not in every finger position you'll get clean line for example, you can write a word "line" all letters can be fine instead of "i" with - dot on top of the letter might not be printed if you use wrong grip. - There are 2 special lockers on a sides of pen aimed for keeping a cap in more tightened position. Some people might have the grip right above those. P.S. still thinking about changing nib to fine from medium.

Classic fountain pen by Lamy, the best I've ever had! It's faultless and writes beautifully.
