Review: Great pen for thoes of us that are new to fountain pens; or work in places where they seem to grow feet.... - I will start by saying that this is the 2nd of this same pen I have ordered in the last 6 months. Reason being is that people like it. My first one 'grew legs' after 5 months. Now, for the pen its self. It writes well, and keeps up perfectly fine with my writing speed. Unless I'm drawing circles as fast as I can it hasn't had an ink flow speed problem with writing, which is on the faster end than most people. The nib feels good and with an ink type change will write on sticky notes of all kinds (I found that the supplied blue ink doesn't write or flow well on colored sticky notes). I like that its clear, where as some may want a design. It lets me see my ink levels and I like that. The shape of the pen fits well into my (and others) fingers. For the ink option, I've only used Noodlers Bullet Proof Ink, so I can not make any comments on how it handles others; but with Noodlers i can write on damn near anything. It will work on inexpensive copy paper without bleeding through, It will write on the cheap leather bound notebooks sold at walmart like a dream, and most importantly for me; it does colored sticky notes. There is something to note though about when you get a refillable converter. If you look at the converter, you will see two small bumps opposite each other it. When you insert it into the pen, it will allow you to insert it at almost any rotation, but if you look at it close, you can see that there is a set of narrow groves that end in a round channel. Make sure you put it in that way. I'm sure that's self explanatory, but the first time i used it I didn't do that, and I couldn't figure out why my pen didn't get good ink flow. Thankfully i didn't do anything that would cause it to come completely free from the feed tube, but i could imagine the mess it would cause. Anyway, for the pen overall, it is great. It's great for use in a place where it might walk away while on lunch or if you forget it at your desk and go home for a couple days off.
Review: Amazing Product! - If you are looking at this page then you must buy this pen! This pen is amazing. I spent upwards of $70.00 on a supposedly "good" fountain pen at the local office supply store, and it isn't half as good as this Lamy. I love the lightweight and durable plastic, and the fact that it is clear is a big plus for keeping an eye on your ink. I prefer the less elegant, more utilitarian look; I felt like some kind of snob when I wrote (ehm, attempted to write) with the fancy chrome-trimmed pen. This writing tool is a steal at $22.80, and for that price the loss will be more emotional than monetary if you misplace it. I was amazed when it wrote after 2 seconds once I installed the included ink cartridge. My expensive pen required that you squeeze the cartridge and keep scribbling until it works. The ink that comes with the Lamy is brilliant blue, and it flows like a dream, even on my cheap notebook paper. The ink doesn't bleed or feather, and doesn't creep up on the nib like some. The cartridge is large enough that I'd probably be able to take a few weeks worth of notes in my college engineering classes before it even comes close to running out. I ordered the converter for it, but it has not yet arrived. I will update in the future on the pen/converter combo, but I imagine it will work exceedingly well. I am a Lamy customer for life. UPDATE: I've now used this pen for over a year, and my opinion has not changed a bit. I carry this pen everywhere clipped in my left pants pocket, just in case. I've used three different inks so far, and all have worked better than a dream. The only one showing any issues is Noodler's "Bulletproof" black ink, which is not 100% standard. Even it only suffers from an occasional dry-start and a little bit of feathering of the ink on the steel top of the nib. It must be something to do with the surface tension, but I'm no chemist. The only noticeable sign of wear is the metallic Lamy logo, which has rubbed almost completely off in my pocket. The converter kit works flawlessly with it, and I've had no leaks of any kind. I definitely recommend getting a converter with this, if only to save money in the long run. It's also nice to be able to change out ink whenever you want. I still love this pen.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lamy Safari Vista with the Fine Nib, L12F
*by D***. on May 7, 2008*

I own five fountain pens. A Cross Titanium Townsend with a medium nib, Two Waterman Phileus', one with a medium nib and one with a fine nib. And I own to safari's, a Charcoal with a fine nib and the vista with a fine nib. The Cross is a super cool and smooth pen, but the line is too thick for most of what I need to do on a daily basis. It also has my signature etched in gold in it, so it is not a pen I like to carry around and potentially lose. The Phileus' are good pens. The Medium is slightly smaller than that of the Cross, and serves me well in my larger notebooks or on cheaper stock, such as copy paper or post it notes. The fine nib is nice for the smallest Moleskine. My favorite value by far is my Vista with the fine nib. It is not a flashy pen, but works really well. It is super smooth in the Moleskin, no skipping at all. The clear plastic has pros and cons. The pros are that it looks really cool and makes it easy to see the ink level (I bottle fill with Noodlers bulletproof). The con is that it looks sort of like a cheap clear bic. Another con is that it feels scratchy on Post it notes or copy paper. I am still giving this five stars, because you can't beat the value of the pen, or the value of using the same pen over and over by just refilling. It writes very smoothly over decent stock. Its a good pen that writes well, doesn't leak, has good ergonomics, doesn't take a lot of pressure to write with, and leaves a line of the width that I like. I recommend it, or if you prefer a more expensive looking model, the charcoal model.
