Lovely western fountain pen
I’ve had this pen for a little while now and I enjoy the writing experience a lot. I have a few Japanese gold nib F and EF pens and wanted to experience a Western EF. My initial impression was it was a little bit difficult to write with and felt unwieldy but the more I wrote with it, the more enjoyable the experience. I didn’t find any issues with ink flow as my pen writes pretty wet (vs my experience with other Japanese pens). I don’t really notice the pens’ sweet spot so perhaps the way I hold the pen angle to paper is optimal. I don’t really get a lot of fatigue when I write for longer sessions with this pen. I’m trying to train myself out of death gripping my pens and the Lamy 2000 pen girth helps discourage death grips. I position my grip above the aluminum ‘section’ probably where the cap clip is and I don’t notice the ears at all. I don’t tend to find my fingers sliding down to the aluminum section. The design of the pen is a nice, clean minimal look. I didn’t purchase it because it’s iconic, I purchased it because I like the design. The EF nib writes with a heavier line weight that I’m used to but it’s still very usable for me. Ink capacity isn’t huge even though it’s a piston filler but not a deal breaker for me as I love changing ink colors. The pen can be disassembled extremely easily for deep cleaning and full maintenance which is great for me as I love to tinker. I do wonder, when I first received the pen, I did a water flush and was surprised to find the water was blue. I’m not sure if the pen was tested by factory or seller or if it was a return. Regardless, there was nothing wrong with the way the pen wrote. I do have one gripe about the pen and I’m not sure if it’s a design flaw or if I just have a bit of a dud. The pen clip is a little bit wobbly which drives me a bit bonkers. I like this pen so much I want to pick up another either in the F or M nib so I guess I’ll figure out if the clip wobble is unique to my current pen or inherent to the design.

Great pen, but caution against buyingn it from Amazon
I love the pen but I'd caution against buying it from Amazon! I had to return my pen because it was missing the crucial little metal o-ring between the pen body and the nib section that allows the cap to snap shut securely. There was residual ink in this pen (and not the Lamy blue the factory tests pens with), so obviously I received a pre-owned pen. Instead, I recommend buying this pen from a trust-worthy source such as Goulet Pen Company. This is what I ended up doing after returning the Amazon pen. They inspect pens before shipping them out. As to the pen itself, it is a dream to use. It's become my go-to sketch and writing pen, filled with DeAtramentis Document Black ink. This ink does not bleed with watercolors. The pen starts every time, and the feel on the paper is so smooth. Mine is an Extra Fine, but really not very fine. But when I want a finer line, I use the back side of the nib. It's a little more scratchy feeling, but gives me a finer line when I want it. It's a solidly-made pen and I feel I can take it anywhere, and I do!

Great Product for the Special Black Friday Price
If not for the price, may not have considered. Writes well, built like a tank, smooth ink flow, great piston and comfortable... no issues with the two 'hinges' at the side. Having said that, the EF is rather broad similar to a Japanese nib size Fine to Medium leaning towards Medium. Purchased based on many positive reviews from users and friends. Design quite 'outdated' but if one is fine with that, no issues. However, Japanese nib users who prefer Japanese EF and/or F nibs may find the line width too wide. Overall, great fountain pen especially on a Black Friday Sale.

Très beau stylo-plume
Son style "Bauhaus" avait jadis attiré mon attention, puis j'étais passé à autre chose. Lorsque je l'ai revu récemment, j'ai craqué. Son design me plaît. Il est léger, bien équilibré en main, toujours immédiatement disponible même après plusieurs jours d'inactivité. La fenêtre qui montre le niveau de l'encre est bien utile. Son système de remplissage à piston est agréable à utiliser. Sa plume douce au toucher répond à toutes les sollicitations et précisément quel que soit le papier. En quelques semaines, il est devenu un de mes préférés de ma petite collection.
