Lamy 2000 - The Right Nib Makes All the Difference in the World

Earlier this year, I bought my 2nd Lamy 2000. The difference in my 1st and 2nd Lamy 2000 is like night and day. See for yourself.

I love my extra-fine Lamy 2000. You are right. Medium nibs are just sloppy.

[@KentFilleman-it8vp]

Lamy’s extra-fine is really a fine. Their medium is a broad, and so on.

You were on my mind about 4 hours ago. I passed thru your neck of the woods on my way to Hunting Island.

I'm down to 1 of the dark stout beers left from my first batch. Yesterday I brewed a batch of amber beer for the summer. It's bubbling away. Hunting Island is our favorite beach. We like to stay in the bed and breakfasts in nearby Beaufort. Have fun.....it's a photographer's paradise.

Here's a video I made for Wanda for her 70th birthday. You might be able to watch it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGK7aKyDeM6ppKc

I’m relatively new to the world of fountain pens and the one constant seems to be; it’s all in the nibs. I’ve heard of people paying thousands for a pen only to have to send the nib out for work. I’ve heard stories about the inexpensive Chinese Montblanc knockoffs Jinhao that are perfectly tuned right out of the box for less than $5 on Aliexpress. I guess the moral of the story is to try before you spend hundreds of dollars if at all possible. Otherwise stick with the Chinese knockoffs. Also, the JinHao version of the LAMY 2000, sans the hooded nib, is the JinHao X80. Great review, thank you! I’m waiting on my LAMY 2000 as we speak and I can’t wait. ❤

Did you get the real Lamy 2000, or opt for the Chinese version? I have a review of the Chinese version of the Lamy Safari, but the plastic cracked after some use.

[@dahak972]

@@ima4ster I got the real LAMY 2000, but I have a bunch of different JinHao pens coming soon. One of them is a 2000 knockoff. I’m a little nervous to see how they stack up against each other. lol.

I have a L2K in EF. I also have the jinhao 80 and i put a Lamy z50 M nib in it. I tend to use this modified Jinhao pen more from the past 1 year. For me the hooded nib and its slippery nature are negatives of L2K. On contrary i dont find these negatives in the modified Jinhao 80

My EF Lamy continues to impress me with its writing ability in my hand. I use it often. The snap-on cap makes it a great daily note-taker for me.

Thanks for watching and commenting.

Yes, you got lucky. VERY lucky. Still not a true XF in my opinion.
