The first requirement for any fountain pen I own is that it must write consistently and reliably. Appearance, precious metal adornments, precious resins used, gold content in the nib...all of secondary importance, because if it doesn't write well when I pick it up, it's not going to be used. The LAMY 2000 is that pen, for me. With a body made from fiber-reinforced polycarbonate, a smooth piston filling mechanism, a grip section made from powdered steel and seamlessly attached to the upper grip section, this pen revolutionized fountain pen design in 1966, and is still produced today, virtually unchanged. That's longer than the Beetle was in production, and with significantly fewer updates. Following the Bauhaus school of thought (Form follows Function), this pen is large enough to be used unposted, but it can be posted. The nib is semi-hooded to minimize drying out when the pen is uncapped. The feed is designed to provide ink to a 14k nib that is just short of 1/2 inch long; all of Lamy's nibs are significantly shorter than conventional nibs, but write just as well as their longer cousins from other manufacturer, at a fraction of the price. All but one of Lamy's fountain pens' nibs are interchangeable, even their 14k gold nibs (yes, you CAN put a $140 14k gold nib on your $20 Safari). The only fountain pen that has a unique nib that will not fit on any other pen is the Lamy 2000, which is available in 14k gold only. Due to the shortness of the tines, and the fact that only a small portion of the nib protrudes from the end of the grip section, you will not get any line variation by applying pressure to the pen. If you want line variation, you have to buy "specialty grinds" such as a stub nib, or oblique nib, both of which are available as options from Lamy and their authorized retailers. If you don't know how nibs are made, here's a quick lesson: they stamp the basic nib shape out of sheet metal, then weld on a little ball of long-wearing metal that's harder than woodpecker lips to prevent erosion from being dragged across various types of paper for years, then cut the nib slit up to the breather hole to split the tip into two (sometimes more) tines (for flex and facilitation of ink flow), and finally polish the part of the tip that makes contact with your paper to make it smooth, and to remove burrs left over from the slit-cutting process. In THEORY, only the bottom of that round ball makes contact with the paper, with the slit between the two hemispheres carrying the ink to the paper. The bigger the ball, the wider the amount of the ball's surface that contacts the paper, the wider the line. In PRACTICE, however, they grind a flat spot into the part of the ball that should make contact with the paper; the bigger the "contact patch", the smoother it becomes. This also negates having to make a giant ball for the tipping material to get a broad line. Why do you need to know this? Because now comes the explanation for why some people complain about the Lamy 2000 writing inconsistently. With a regular fountain pen nib, if you "roll" your pen to the left, the right side tine will lift off the paper, but the springiness of the nib will allow the left side nib to lift up until both nibs are back on the paper, with the nib slit full of ink in the middle; ink gets on the paper, life is good. Similar, but opposite, thing if you roll your pen to the right. However, the nib on the Lamy 2000 has virtually no flex, so...if you roll it to the left far enough, the right side tine will lift off the paper, but the left side won't flex enough to allow the right side to get back on the paper. That means the right tine and nib slit full of ink are hanging in the air, not on the paper; ink doesn't flow, there's no writing, and you're upset because your pen doesn't write. While you don't have to keep the nib PERFECTLY flat to get ink to flow, the "sweet spot" (where ink flows despite rolling your pen) is noticeably smaller than with other pens. And since the grip section is round, not triangular (like on a Safari), it may be harder to tell if you rolled your pen too far to the left or right. Practice makes perfect, and after you find out how far you can roll your pen and still get good ink flow, it'll become one of the best writing pens you'll ever own, at ANY price. TLDR: Why would Lamy do that? So, imagine you made your own standard nib, just cut the slit into your non-Lamy nib, and polished the bottom nice and smooth. The inside edge of the slit is still razor sharp, because...metal, harder than woodpecker lips. And then imagine writing with that nib, moving the nib from right to left, and you just rolled your pen far enough to the left to let the right tine lift off the paper. The left tine will flex up, and allow that razor sharp inner edge of the right tine to scrape across the paper...not only does that sound and feel horrendous, it also damages the paper's surface, and forces paper shavings into the slit, where they combine with the ink to form a very effective blockage to continued ink flow. Moving the pen from left to right (while still rolling the pen to the left) will be far less scratchy, because the smooth and well rounded outer edge of the left tine will apply the most pressure to the paper. The solution to that problem is to grind away some of the material from the inside bottom edge of both tines, and round off the edges until they're no longer razor sharp. Problem solved, right? Well, yes, mostly, but...what if you remove just a little too much, or you smooth the edge too much? Remember, this work is still done by hand, by skilled technicians, but we're talking removing maybe a 1/1000 of an inch at a time; there will be very small variations from one nib to the next. What you end up with, if too much material is removed, is a condition called "baby's bottom". The ink's surface tension tends to pull the edges of the ink closer to where the majority of the ink is located, namely the center of the nib slit. The wider the gap between the two tines, the higher up in the slit the ink remains. So, if the nib slit in the last 1/1000 of an inch of total nib length is too wide, the ink will stop flowing down at 1/1000 of an inch away from the paper, and laugh at you...silently, of course. You can "fix" that by carefully "closing the gap between where the nib touches paper, and where the ink stops flowing, by grinding the nib's tip shorter (ultra-fine sandpaper and micro-mesh, which voids your warranty!) and re-smoothing the edge carefully to avoid a repeat of baby's bottom; you can send it back for a replacement (if you didn't grind the nib, and it's still under warranty); or you can have a nib technician re-grind it to your liking (which also voids your warranty, but the nib technician will ensure that the nib does what you want it to do before giving you back your pen). Lamy's method, initiated before computers and CNC machines were a thing, created this process of mass producing a reliably working nib that rivals today's CNC machined nibs...as long as you don't roll your pen too far to port or starboard ;-).

I was really hesitant on ordering this pen. I had originally planned on going for something more expensive, like a Visconti Homo Sapiens, but I decided to give this Lamy a try due to it's overwhelmingly positive reviews on the internet. A lot of people say that they have a lot of pens, but they keep going back to the 2000 for some reason. I'll help you understand a few of those reasons. First off, this pen is way better in person than any picture I've seen online. I wasn't really a fan of the hooded nib look, and the finish just looked kind of blah. I was excited about the gold nib, and trying out the smoothness that I've seen people rave about. I ordered the pen, and was pleasantly surprised at what I got: 1. The box is nice. It's paper, but still nice. I feel like the design is fitting for the pen. 2. The pen has a nice weight to it, and feels much more solid than the Safari. When full of ink, it's a medium-weight pen. Not nearly as heavy as some other monster pens, and I would say that the weight is perfect. 3. The brushed finish of the Makralon exterior of the pen is fantastic. It honestly almost feels like a brushed stone, as it's very smooth but cool to the touch. If you look close you can actually see the marks of the brushing. I would say this pen is more on the satin side than the completely matte, but it's definitely not shiny. I was not expecting to like the finish so much, but I really have a hard time not touching it. Very unique, and it feels like quality. You really have to see it and hold it in your hands to understand what I'm talking about. The metal section near the nib is also brushed, and feels exactly like a cooler version of the Makralon body. It's very seamless, the tolerances are incredible. You don't feel any ridges or anything. It's very comfortable to grip regardless of if you have a small cramped grip (like mine) or hold your pen higher. 4. The nib is a huge step up from the Safari steel nib. It's wetter than my Safari, but it's so smooth. I feel like I need to use half as much pressure as I did with the Safari, and the pen really glides on Rhodia paper. For this reason alone, I don't think I could go back to my Safari. This is almost enough to sell me on the pen by itself. 5. People talk about a "sweet spot" on the 2000, but I haven't really had issues with that. It writes well in any way that I hold the pen. My Safari was more finnicky about how I held it. In closing, I wasn't expecting to like this pen. Part of me didn't want to like it. Then I got it, and I completely understand why it's been around for so long and why so many people use it. Aesthetically, it's very nice. From a few steps back it looks like a normal, boring black pen. But when you get close it really has a ton of character, and it feels rugged enough to be a daily writer. I love it. I consider this a no-brainer if you're a Safari owner looking to get a nicer pen. You won't be disappointed, and you may even find yourself neglecting the rest of your other pens.

The Lamy 2000 (EF) is everything I was ever looking for in a fountain pen. For starters, the most important element is how it writes. The 2000 is so smooth! An absolute joy to write with. The weight was well balanced and just right. Not too heavy, not too light. It feels durable. When you’re spending this kind of money on a pen, you want to make sure you’re not wasting it. The 2000 was worth every cent. My kiddo unfortunately dropped the pen and bent the nib so definitely keep this away from them. I loved this pen so much I ended up buying a new one to replace the old one (which can still be fixed). I use it for writing a lot so you could consider this a workhorse. The ink reservoir is big enough to keep you writing without interruption. My hand never got tired using it nor did it slip on the grip. Even though I have a lot of fountain pens, once I got the 2000, I knew if I ever had a choice to pick just one, it would be this. So happy with it and look forward to many more years of using it.

tl;dr If you have the money to buy this pen, and you're even considering it, just do it. You will not regret it. Like many fountain pen enthusiasts, I have way too many pens. My pens are mostly sub-$50 range but I have a few that are above. My favorite pen until I got this pen was the Pilot Custom 823 which was well over twice the cost. Now it's my second favorite. The Lamy usurped it's place of high regard in a matter of minutes. Pros: Attractive but minimalist. It's a ~50 year old design but has aged well, like wine. Even though it's a piston filler, the machining tolerances are so fine that you'd have a hard time finding the seam between the barrel and the piston knob. The Makrolon material is so lightweight, but feels strong... looks attractive but the finish don't get ruined by the natural oils in your skin when you touch it. It posts fine if you prefer a posted pen, and remains pretty well-balanced when doing so. But if you're like me, and don't like to post your pens, it feels great in the hand without posting it. Writing with it... it's oh so smooth. Definitely not a soft nib, but if you're respectful it's okay to get a little line variation out of it. Cons: Uhhhh... Can I get back to you on that? About the "sweet spot"... I never had a problem with this but many people do. I think a lot of classic exposed nibs have let people get away with holding their pens wrong (rotated clockwise for right-handed writers). The Lamy doesn't have time for that nonsense. You do this pen the respect of holding it correctly or it's not going to work under your lousy conditions. The nice thing about the sweet spot is that once you find it, try holding all of your OTHER fountain pens that way and see if they don't write a little better for you. And an ink recommendation: I normally don't pair a pen to a specific ink, but this pen just screams out for gray inks. I'm using Noodlers Lexington Gray and it's perfect. A note on nib sizing: Lamy is a Western pen manufacturer and the nib sizes run a little on the large side of what they claim to be if you're coming from a Japanese pen. When a Japanese pen says it's "fine", there's no doubt about it; you're going to get a VERY fine line. An EF Japanese nib is going to seem like a hair almost. A Lamy "fine" isn't all that fine. Compared to Japanese pens, I almost want to call my Lamy 2000 Fine nib a "Medium". It's probably the biggest thing I feel comfortable writing with in a lined notebook. A Lamy "Medium" nib would just be too thick for any of my notebooks unless I started occupying two lines at a time.

This wrote like a dream for around 2 months. Straight out of the box I was immediately falling in love. By the end of the first sentence I knew it was the pen I'd been looking for...but it has some quirks. I currently own a Pilot VP (F), Pilot Heritage 92 (F) & Karas Kustoms Brass Fountain K (EF). The Lamy 2000 in EF destroys them all when you're lucky enough to get a solid one from the factory. It's insanely smooth & I increased the 'sweet spot' with a little TLC (and micro mesh). The bad news is that it has the same issue other Lamy's do with nibs becoming loose as you write. Normally you just push it up and back to writing, but reseating the hooded nib of the 2000 is a whole other beast. Disassembly is scary (to say the least) the first time, but after that it's a piece of cake. Not that you'll need to, really. The pen flushes incredibly well for ink changes & cleaning with no disassembly at all. My clip is finicky. Sometimes it's great, other times it comes tumbling out of my pocket 5 times in a day. I honestly wish it was just a fixed (tight) clip. Forget the spring! But on that note this pen is surprisingly durable. Mine still looks almost brand new and trust me, I've dropped it more times than I can say without cringing at my own words. ------ AFTER 2 MONTHS My nib is becoming increasingly scratchier with use. I can tune it back up (and I do...a lot), but I shouldn't have to. While I do think some of this is due to my heavy hand (which I've since pretty much fixed), I still feel that the 'shape' of the nib has disappeared much too quickly. I only use Rhodia paper & good ink so I don't see why this is an issue. My Pilots haven't even comes close to wearing down and I've owned them far longer. However the piston has never skipped a beat or aired out a fill. The seals seems quite solid and though the construction of the internal piston leaves some things to be desired (it's pretty flimsy plastic inside) I still have zero real (functional) complaints about it. In spite of the issues stated above I'll be picking up another when I can...because honestly...it's still the best pen I've ever used by a long shot. Lamy knows what they're doing and that's why they're still producing the bar for reasonably priced production Fountain Pens.

Over time this pen earned its place as the one to hand write everything. It’s somewhat tricky to describe just how exactly this pen seems to be the one to grab first. It may be balance, feel, aesthetic, weight, or maybe its iconic lines. It feel substantial but not bulky. Look and feel convey a sense of durability and thoughtfulness. In the hand it feels inevitable. My favorite pen probably by far at this point having ventured into lux pen waters a while back now.

I have been looking at this Lamy 2000 fountain pen for several months and I finely decided to purchase one with a EF nib. I am very happy that I did make this purchase it lives up to the positive reviews. I have come to really like piston fill pens and this is one of the better designs, the fill hole is quite low so you do not have to submerge as much of the pen down into the ink to fill, this helps with clean up. Also, the filling mechanism is easy to operate, though after seeing videos of disassembly of this piston system I will not be taking this pen apart. Cleaning it has not been an issue so far, using some pen cleaner and a syringe seems to work well. The nib I have found to be excellent, for a EF nib this nib is very smooth not dry at all even when writing quickly. I am left handed and have not had any issues with the "sweet spot" on this nib, I just gripped it as normal and it writes every time for me. I also find the ability to grip higher or lower on the pen, this is something that I have on my tactileturn pens and it is small but is a very nice option. This nib is considerably better than the Bock nibs in my tactileturn pens and other pens that use them so I will be using it more than them even though the tactileturn pens are a whole magnitude tougher and more durable than this pen is. I would rate this pen just below my Pelikan 800 F nib it really is that good for me. I think most people looking to buy a higher level fountain pen will enjoy this one, the nib is western EF not a Japanese EF btw and does deliver on performance improvements over the more common Bock nibs on the market. Happy writing!

I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the body shape and styling, but wanted to try it anyway. And that part is growing on me, considering that I usually prefer grips with a bit of flare to stop my fingers creeping forward. But the nib on this pen is keeping me from enjoying the pen as a whole. I've bought Lamy extra fine pens before, I have a small collection of Safaris, all in extra fine, and though larger than a Japanese extra fine, they at least feel useable to me. This Lamy 2000 "extra fine" though, is a joke. It writes as thick as a felt tipped marker, and I'm not talking about a fineliner. I also sometimes have missed strokes that make me believe there's a touch of baby's bottom going on. Overall, I'm not thrilled with the purchase - the only saving grace is that reverse writing is everything I wanted from the nib - no skipping issues, and the line is a perfectly acceptable European "extra fine". That, and the unique body shape and surprisingly lightweight feel are interesting and new for me. Currently debating if I need to start researching nib meisters to grind the nib down for me. Bought from LY Berditchev Co. UPDATE 2024-09-13: cleaning out the pen today and discovered why the nib size felt so wrong, it's clearly marked "M", even though the listing I ordered said "ex-fine". Super disappointed I didn't find this sooner so I could return it. See final photo of pen.
