There is a reason Lamy Safaris are loved by fountain pen users all over the world. Took it out of the box, put the ink cartridge in and it started working immediately. I got the EF nib and even with that it writes extremely smoothly with no hard starts or railroading. Lines are extremely consistent too so great for sketching. The pen's body is made of plastic but its good quality plastic and it does feel quite good in hand(I was expecting it to be flimsy). Absolutely zero hassle. No need to clean/rinse feed and nib,smoothen tines etc, the ink in the cartridge is lamy blue and it's a beautiful shade of blue(unlike kaweco's horrendous blue ink cartridge). There is no converter in this particular version though so I had to order a z24/28 converter separately. Rating- 4/5(include the converter Lamy. Jinhao has converters in their pens. I'm sure you can afford to include converters in your pens too). Read more

I have had a dozen or so Lamy’s but this is the best by a country mile Read more

I love fountain pens. I always have. These particular ones are easy to fill, when you have the converter, easy to use, and absolutely lovely for drawing with. What else can I say about it. Read more

amazing pen Read more

I think I got a bad one. The ink is always leaking from the slit. Read more

I would expect better quality for the price. The turquoise ink is really light when you write on paper. It can be smoother. Their calligraphy pens work better. Read more

Easy to change ink Read more

Extra fine nib is perfect for small handwriting and the ink flows so smoothly, even from the first go! It’s so pretty and the name engraving was delicate and perfect! Thank you Lamy! Read more
