 but huge bummer that it arrives damaged.  You need to order additional ink cartridges or a bottle because the ink it comes with will be exploded and unusable due to the rigors of shipping.

Its a fantastic pen, I'm keeping it.  But it arrived with a messy, exploded ink cartridge. Got ink everywhere. can't really use the case now because it's soaked in ink

A Goid Pen But......Buy Extra Ink

  I actually want to like this pen. If this pen performed the way it feels this would be my go to pen. However, I did say if. As it turns out, it writes just OK but not what I would call good

 Like I said I really do want to like this pen and there are so many good reviews of this pen that I am thinking about buying another one just to see if maybe I happened to get a bad one.

On the plus side I like the looks, size and weight of this pen. It's a little heavier than a lot of other pens but I like the weight, it feels solid and well made. Also, my pen has a medium nib but it seems to write closer to somewhere between fine and medium. I have read that the Japanese nibs tend to be a little finer that most German or American nibs and that seems to be the case here

Pen is decent.

 For me this is a negative; I wanted somethin hefty in my hand.  The nib is supposed to be a medium sized, but it rights like the fine nib pen that I tested. It still wrote smoothly and consistently. It did not catch on the paper or snag

Ink Reserve is Not Good

**Pilot Metropolitan** - pretty good, better ones for the price. I bought my metro for 15$ and was kind of satisfied.

  Pros: - Feels really good weight wise (very hefty for a pen). - Top Cover / top clicks very nicely to the base (feels very good to play with while thinking). - Fancy (10 points for Gryffindor?) - Easy to refill (I'm using the cartridges, takes 15 seconds to swap out the cartridge and makes very little, if any mess doing so). - Replacement cartridges are cheap (12 for ~$6), runs about the same (maybe a little less) than a pack of ballpoint pens

Medium Bleed through paper, have to have at a very specific angle to write.

The Visconti Homo Sapiens collection is produced from hardened volcanic lava taken from the Etna volcano in Italy, decorated with solid brass trims, and features the world's first-ever 23K palladium fountain pen nib. The lava used to create this collectio

 I would not pay that. Fortunately I was able to buy it from Appelboom last year for significantly cheaper.

Ended up selling it. The Homo Sapiens right now priced what it is right now at over $700 is overpriced. I would not pay that. Fortunately I was able to buy it from Appelboom last year for significantly cheaper

Ok, I own both pens. Both with fine nibs. I got my Lamy in April 2019 and my Visconti in February 2020. I’ve used both of them a lot.

The Visconti was my grail pen. I know I’m not the only one on this sub. There’s something about the high price point, volcano body, the looks. Everything made me want to get this pen. I thought it would be part art piece and part everyday writing instrument. 

It’s a year later and I’m really thinking of selling my Visconti. Expectations didn’t live up to the hype. Most of the things I liked the most about the pen are accomplished with the Lamy 2000. I liked the idea that the Visconti’s body was warm and absorbed sweat and wouldn’t slip, etc. The Makrolon body of the Lamy 2000 is really pretty close to the Visconti. The hook-lock pen cap of the Visconti? Yup, that’s super cool and I can uncap the pen quickly for note-taking. 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. 

Some of the major differences are the pen's looks (I think they both look great but in different ways) and the way the nibs write. The Visconti definitely has a specific feel to it. But I definitely don’t think it’s worth over 3 times the price of the Lamy.

I regret the days I spent lusting over the pen, with a lot of FOMO from this sub. After the honeymoon period for both pens, I can say that I get the same amount of joy from both and one of them is a lot more reasonably priced.

Hot take: The Visconti Homo Sapiens is too expensive. Just get a Lamy 2000

 However, that hook lock system does not agree with my grip, I hold too far back and they are not comfortable between my fingers for any period of time. Also, that same system mixed with the material just always felt like I was opening a lock made of sand and stone.

What is that one pen that is constantly sitting on the bench because of only one (or two) non deal breaker flaws but ones that you cannot ignore ? For me it's the Regatta. I love that pen, it writes well, love the magnet closing and opening but ugh that step down .... and that's why at the time of the writing of this post, it sits forlornly on my table staring at me with it's puppy eyes behind those rose gold rims.

Pens: I was just gifted a Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age and am thrilled with it. It opened my brain to all of their other pens. I have it in my brain that I want to look for a London Fog that was LE a few years ago. A TWSBI 580 Smoke Rose Gold II is still on my list also
