Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have had my Lamy Studio (palladium/14K M nib) for about two years, now. I have a lot of other fountain pens (Montegrappa, Waterman, Sheaffer and a host of Parker 51's), but have found this to be the pen I take when I travel, and one to which I frequently return for everyday use. The barrel is not narrow, but is comfortable. If I had a complaint, it might be that the palladium finish on the grip can be slippery at times, but that's a minor quibble.
The 'sideways' clip is a classic design, as is the two-toned gold nib, which has a bit of flex in it--enough for a bit of character. With the cap posted on the end, it is very well balanced, and there's no drag from its weight that I've noticed. It is a very smooth writer, putting down a perfect amount of ink. I have used it with both cartridges (for travel) and converter (at home) with great success with a number of other different inks: Noodlers, Parker, and Private Reserve. No problem, no clogging. I do a lot of writing, and the pen I most exchange this with is a Sailor Professional that has an incredible 21K nib, sort of common-looking resin body, and cost three times as much. Here, for a very reasonable price, you get remarkable styling, a great gold nib, and a pen that is classy and a workhorse.
If you like fountain pens, this is one you will love. If you don't know much about them, this is a very good one in a great price bracket. (For a beginner writing a normal line, I might recommend a M or F nib rather than an XF, which can be pretty spidery)
