LAMY safari umbra - Fountain Pen with ergonomic grip & black steel nib in size M - ideal for any Writing & Calligraphy - including LAMY T 10 blue cartridge - Right-Handed

Honestly such a good day to day and note taking pen. I re-brought a Safari Lamy as it’s good for taking brief notes for everyday but for long essay writing I use my Lamy 200. This Pen is really good for all levels of writing has a good grip and can be versatile with the ink cartridges and the Nibs. Make sure to check the nib is best for you- you can change the nibs anyways. I’m left handed using the F nib (fine) which is recommended for general and particularly Left handed writers as the flow of ink doesn’t gush out, the thickness is standard and quick dries to prevent smudging with a nice writing comfort flow but it’s all about preference and how thick you want the ink too. Loads of different colours all same size fit and really good grip so would recommend to anyone.

This is a great fountain pen. The Extra fine tip writes very seamlessly, the ink provided is very smooth and dries quickly, so there is no need to worry about smudging. The color is very vibrant (as vibrant as dark red can be haha), the Scarlet color is really elegant and makes the plastic pen looks much more expensive than it actually was. The black details suit it very well too. The nib is quite sturdy and doesn't bend like some cheap pens do. Not much pressure is needed to write. The grip on the pen is very comfortable, even for me as someone who likes to hold their pens very close to the nib. I definitely recommend it!

This is a my first fountain pen since school days and I have been so impressed with it. It’s great value for money and is very comfortable to hold and write with. It’s really smooth and flowing too. No blotches or having to shake it to get the ink flowing through. German engineering shines through it. I chose the medium nib , you can purchase the finer nibs to use too which is a bonus. It doesn’t come with any cartridges so I ordered Lamy ones too which I found easy to insert. Lamy also sell a converter so you can use bottled ink if you prefer but I’ve not tried it. Overall , I’m really happy with my purchase. It’s real quality , looks stylish and delivery was speedy

I’m a fountain pen devotee. I was attracted by this Lamy for two reasons. Firstly, was the fun aspect of the transparent barrel so that the colour of the ink could be seen. Handy, for someone with a couple of handfuls of fountain pens, all with different coloured inks in them, as I’m a bit of a collector of the Diamine range of inks, and then play colour mix with the ones I have. Secondly is the fact that I’m a Southpaw, and the Lamy, unlike my absolutely favourite brand – Cross, specifically the thin and elegant Century Classic – has a Left Hand Nib option. Something I have not seen offered by Cross. Lefties, depending on their own particular pen wielding and, I guess, the degree of left handedness, can find that they don’t get on with fountain pens at all. Some lefties curl their whole hand almost above the line, so that the wet ink of a fountain pen is smeared across the line as they write. I am not one of those. I write from below, albeit with a slight leftward roll of the nib. I’ve never found that problematic with a good, fine, fountain pen nib, and don’t have smear and blot problems. I probably have no real need of a ‘lefty’ but was interested to try This IS a nice pen, though visually it lacks the refined and poised look of that super slim Cross Classic Century. And I have small, slender hands, so find fatter pens seem to sit in my hands less well than willowy ones. For sure, I can understand the appeal of the Lamy for younger, possibly training writers – the chunkier barrel probably useful for those still learning how to manoeuvre a pen. The grooves down the barrel also impose more of a standard way of gripping the pen, again, this might be useful for those learning, but perhaps older writers, having had a lifetime of adapting to their own best way of gripping, find the grooved barrel inhibits comfortable familiarity. Certainly – I don’t know whether this was the slight curve to the nib, or the influence of the barrel, but writing with this was easiest with the pen very much square on the paper, forming a right angle with the line. Not my normal angling at all, A bit more effortful for me A downside of ‘Lefty’ is that though you can choose from a range of nib widths with the standard Lamy, only one choice is available if you go left – the Left Nib is a medium. It’s not too thick, but I definitely prefer Fine nibs for my handwriting So…I like this, but I don’t adore it. But it’s more modest price make it a pen I would take out of the house, whereas the beloved, and more expensive, Crosses which also have sentimental attachments, stay indoors. Far too refined to be rolling around at the bottom of a handbag, This comes with one Lamy cartridge on board. Lamy cartridges are brand specific, and you can’t use the international standard, as their housing doesn’t fit the piercing point within the Lamy nib section. So, if you want to ease back off plastic waste, save your pennies, and get creative with a range of ink colours or ink blend for yourself, you will need the Lamy specific converter. The one for the Vista is the Z28-Z24 ‘the successor to the Z24’ which is available on this site. I don’t know if the old Z24 fits the Vista. In theory I think it should, as both the Z28-Z24 and the Z24 say they fit the Safari, which the Vista is a transparent version of. I think the changes may purely be in the colour/visuals at the top of the filling chamber, which looks a little more refined in the pictures of the new version than the old. Again, Lamy have their own specific converters, other non specific generic converters won’t do!

nie miałem lepszego do użytku na codzień

Nib was not smooth . Faulty product

Zazwyczaj wolę stalówkę F, ale ta M jest cudowna, płynie po papierze. Świetnie się pisze bo pióro doskonale leży w dłoni!

Wunderbarer Füllfederhalter, wird seinem Ruf gerecht. Nach dem Auspacken habe ich dem Füller erst einmal ein kleines Bad in einer handwarmen Spülmittellauge gegönnt, um sicher zu gehen, daß keine möglicherweise vorhandenen Öl- oder Fettreste aus der Produktion im bzw. am Füller verbleiben. Danach getrocknet und nach dem ersten Auffüllen für zwei Stunden mit der Feder nach unten senkrecht hingestellt, damit die Tinte Zeit hat, durch die Gravitation in die Feder zu fließen. Seither schreibt der Füller ohne irgendwelche Probleme. Üblicherweise liegt er waagrecht in einer flachen Stiftebox neben 3-4 weiteren Füllern. Bisher kann ich sagen, daß er auch nach einer Woche Nichtbenutzung sofort und ansatzlos wiederanschreibt, was für mich ein k.o.-Kriterium ist.
