Lamy 2000 vs Pilot Falcon

Here is the pen. Now this pen is really kind of a neat design. It's let me zoom in a little bit for you. It's a very kind of industrial look, but it's...

All that said, among the most reliable modern soft nibs (i.e., have some flexibility when you write, although not up to dip nib standards) are Pilot’s Falcon (FA) nibs, soft fines, and soft extra fines. The Pilot Falcon with a SEF nib might be a decent balance for you between everyday usability for general writing and expressive line variation

Lamy 2000 is just as effective. Smooth nib? They both have it. I found out after using both pens that the Visconti is far too heavy for me.

The weight is fairly light as might be expected for a resin body. The Con-50 converter for bottled ink works well.

(I know there is a stainless steel version of the Lamy 2000, but (1) it's much more expensive, and (2) it doesn't have a window to view the ink level. For me, the stainless steel version is not worth buying.)

.i think it might be the ink type or the rotary mechanism not providing consistent ink feed to the nib :( looses a star on the review for that till i find a solution (might try refilling the empty plastic cartridges manually with a needle)

I work from home, but right now my Lamy 2000 is the only pen I allow out of the house, not only because it’s a solid writer but also because it’s solidly built, and so I’m not afraid of banging it around. My Pilot Custom 823, on the other hand, is like the One Ring…and they all wantsss My Precious for themselves. But it is mine, I tell you.

I expected a pen of this price to be made with quality material and to write beautifully. This pen did neither. This pen is made out of plastic, thick plastic but plastic nonetheless. I have never had a fountain pen write so scratchy before in my life
