LamyBlack Studio Fountain Pen with Fine Nib and Blue Ink (L67F)

I like this fountain pen. I have some other Lamy pens I like as well. But this one was between the low and high end, that is, affordable and excellent quality. It has a stiff nib, something I desperately need as I am heavy-handed. I have used this pen daily since it arrived and plan to use it for a long time.

First, the vendor that sold the pen shipped promptly with good packaging. The pen and box arrived undamaged. I would use the vendor again. The pen is representative of Lamy: nicely made, good design elements, comfortable to use, good value. There are more expensive brands, for both function (nib and feed) and cachet ("precious" resin), but Lamy does a great job melding material, design and value. The nib is designed to be replaceable, and I installed a 1.1 stub. I was unsure of the smooth grip section that comes with the matte-black model, but this has been a non-issue for me. The cap "clicks" to post, and the clip is strong. The one less-than-perfect issue: slightly loose-fitting cap. This is widely remarked on this model, but it's intentional: it prevents the cap from overly marring the grip section over time. Further, the plastic cap liner is actually replaceable. Others have remarked that the cap becomes rather loose over time and doesn't stay seated, which is possibly due to the reverse-threaded screw that retains the cap liner in the cap becoming loose (if the screw hasn't been lost, tighten it; perhaps apply a tiny bit of loctite). It is a very thoughtfully designed pen, and it shows. Some may find the weight to be tiring over time, but I didn't experience that as an issue - I'm using PIlot Asa-Gao ink, which flows nicely - no hard starts, and continues for extended writing, even on less-than-ideal paper. However, that is attributable more to the ink; "dryer" inks might be problematic in this pen. as other reviewers have noted. For me, the pen is useable without posting the cap, but the balance is slightly off. Smaller hands might appreciate not posting the cap.

I got a sudden jones for this pen while watching a video on a different Lamy classic. So I shopped around and bought it. The outer sleeve was crushed in a few places, but since the pen came in a metal box, it was unharmed. The material is nice to touch, the pen fits well in the hand. The shiny metal grip is not my preference.

This is my favorite pen in my collection. It's easy to fill, not that bed to clean, and writes like a dream. I'm a lefty so many pens/nibs can give a thought time. Not the 2000. It's smooth as butter and every ink I've tried has worked flawlessly.

It's elegant, yet discrete. I did swap the nib for a medium one because I just like that better. It came on the box with a converter, which I very much appreciate. No complaints.

I've been a fan of LAMY's Studio ballpoint and rollerball pens, so I decided to stick with them when getting into fountain pens. This is now my favorite pen. It's wide and weighty like other Studio pens, and has proven easy to customize. I installed a refill converter, which holds enough ink for a couple days (for me-- I scribble a lot). I tried out several nibs before settling on the extra fine (ordered separately), which works best with my style. It only takes a light touch to make a clean line-- I had to learn to ease up compared to ballpoints, especially on thinner notebook paper which wants to bleed and blotch. Now that I'm comfortable with it, I use this pen daily. It's like getting a tailored suit after years of tee shirts and jeans.

I like this pen as it writes reliably and uniformly. Unfortunately Lamy does not have control over nib manufacturing. An EF nib can write like a medium or broad or a F nib can write dry and thin like a poor EF nib. This pen came with an F nib that produced an incredibly thin line using Lamy's own Blue ink. If I wanted an EF this would meet the need - very uniform, very thin. But for the paper I am to use this pen on the writing was weak and pale and the nib felt rough against the paper. I've ordered another F nib to eventually swap with this one - the big advantage of Lamy is that not only are replacement nibs available but they are readily available.

Nice weightGood feel

The media could not be loaded.  Cover on pen would not stay on, easily falls off.

Overall a good stuff.However the price could've been a little less expensive

es mi tercer pluma lamy, tengo la aion y la logo, ambas tienen muy buena construcción metálica barril y capuchón metálicos con cuerda de unión también metálica. la lamy studio decepciona al máximo porque es más cara que las anteriores, plástico en todas partes, el barril es de plástico con una laminilla metálica exterior para que pienses que es puro metal lo mismo el capuchon, el grip es cromado pero cuidado es de plástico y ya como cereza del pastel lamy logo y lamy aion tienen un clip con resorte que se abre fácil y se ajusta fuerte, es sólido y bien construido, el clip de esta lamy studio es endeble un poco delgado no tiene resorte así que se hace mucho esfuerzo para abrirlo dentro de poco estará gastado, flojo o roto. la punta es buena como cualquier otro punto de lamy. en general bien pero el precio es exagerado por una pluma de plástico, pague 1200 pesos mexicanos(60usd aprox) por esta y su construcción mucho peor que una pilot metropolitan de 700 pesos.

The body paint flakes very easily even by scratching by nail. It is very disappointing to see this quality level on such a premium pen. While the pen is heavy and good to hold and write, the overall aesthetics will deteriorate in less than a month. I would not recommend this product to anyone at all. Please avoid buying at all costs.

The built quality is not satisfactory. When the pen is capped, the cap slightly moves which is not expected at all from such premium category pen. The smoothness of the nib (F) did frustrate me too. I have a Lamy Safari(EF) which is way smoother than this so called LAMY STUDIO. While writing, the pen does not offer a good grip over it. If this is the standard with such high price then, I am sorry, I didn't want it.In one line, I am now skeptic whether it's an original or a copy of Lamy Studio.
