After years of trying out pens from pretty much every brand out there, thousands and thousands of euros and dozens of pens...Lamy 2000 is my favorite pen. Thank you for the review.
I was really nervous about buying it because some say it was difficult for them to write with, but i bought it last week and it has exceeded my expectations. Perfect weight, very comfortable to hold, and smoothest nib i have ever used. I could not be happier!
I have the very same model. One of the best pens I've ever purchased. The "GERMANY 2" stands for the mould using which it was manufactured at their factory in Heidelberg.
The Lamy 2000 is an absolute darling to write with and it's a great workhorse of a pen, reliable, warm in the hand and unobtrusive yet elegant in meetings and anywhere else you use it. Yes, she has a sweet spot, but that only serves so that you learn to write with her properly.
The 'sweet spot' refers to the part of the nib that touches the paper. With a fountain pen, the ends of both tines need to be more or less in contact with the paper in order for the capillary action to work. The Lamy 2000 has a nib that is designed in such a way that it is easy to get one of the tines 'out of touch' if you rotate the pen too much. This is especially the case with the broader nib sizes (broader nib sizes are less tolerant to rotation in general in all fountain pens). I have a medium for instance and it will 'punish' me for holding it wrongly. A fine or extra fine would be a bit more tolerant again. The sweet spot just means that the pen, with all it's qualities, does ask the user to hold it correctly and not rotate the nib while writing. I don't mind, as the pen teaches me to write correctly this way. I've had it for 5 months now and it hardly ever happens that I rotate it so badly that the sweet spot gets back at me. I am using the 2000 more and more, as I find it convenient, reliable, unobtrusive, yet stylish and elegant, in appearance as well as in writing.
Sold to the Brit at the back. Thank you :) The design is iconic. Marvellous. You may remember I gave my Pelikan rollerball to my brother? He needed it more than I. My other reasoning was that even with an Ohto refill it was second in writing experience to a half decent fountain pen. This looks like it might be the pen to keep in my shoulder bag as a daily carry when just out and about instead of a rollerball. The jury is still out on that one. Thanks for all of your assistance... again! Chuckles and Cheers.
@@Scrivelynotes OK, I have now corrected my 'No Lamy 2000' oversight. I chose the Makralon version. I find it astonishing that Lamy were producing this back in 1966. It appears to be many years ahead of it's time in terms of design and engineering. And, yes, it stands up to engineering standards still. It write's exceptionally well, just as you said. It feels good in my hand and the weight is balanced and in keeping. Though I do feel obliged to say, it doesn't write any better than my Lamy Studio with it's steel nib, but it does have more panache. I don't normally like shrouded nibs. Possibly because of my enforced use of the basic Parker 45's at school. But to think this was around at the same time (1960's) says so much about Lamy and their creativity and design. It also writes with a superbly sharp line. A very good pen indeed, especially at this price point. When I look at the 2000 I do wonder why the Rollerball was ever invented, but then again Biros were invented, though probably by someone who hated the human race. So as always and again, thank you for your great advice. I will enjoy using this immensely. 👌 (Sorry to have edited this post so many times. I have been trying to capture many thoughts. Damned nice pen sums it up really.)
@@kevinu.k.7042 "Biros were invented, though probably by someone who hated the human race" - this was surely my quote of the week! Yes, I concur with you: there are other pens out there that also write well. And I was never one for "this pen writes better than that pen" (if it is not completely obvious, that is). Often, pens are just different. So, yeah Lamy does make some really good steel nibs - and I honestly, myself, enjoy writing with some of my Safaris as much as I do with my Montblanc 149 ;) .
@@Scrivelynotes I agree. Both my Aurora Optima and my Diplomat Excellence are so very good. Neither is better, each gives a different experience. My only moan with my Lamy Al-Stars is that they dry out in the drawer. I keep wondering whether to apply some insulation tape around the cap join when I put them away. Other than that when their nibs are polished a little they write so very well. I do like the section a lot too. Aside: Hey Lamy - 'Get an O ring'. Ah, well. Vive la difference. 😁
Of all of my pens this one is my favorite. I have the fine nib which writes very smoothly and is a bit wider than my other Lamy fines. Thanks for the extensive review. I enjoyed it.
I do love this pen and I hope Lamy never changes the elegant and timeless design!! It will still be a stunner 100 years from now! I have EF and B and they are both perfect. I just wish Lamy would sell extra nibs because I would like the F and M too. Thanks for the video!
Scrively, I thoroughly enjoyed your helpful video review of your EF & F Lamy2000 pens! I noted that you write with smaller letters as do I...less than half way between the 5 mm space on Rhodia paper. I would have thought he would prefer then the EF nib; however, you mentioned in a response that you preferred the Fine nib... would you mind elaborating? I’m thinking the European Medium would be too broad for my writing style and so currently focused on the Lamy 2000 in Fine or Extra Fine. Writing so small, I do not think that line variation you mentioned on the EF would help my legibility. Also, if you do not mind, when writing on copy paper, which of the Lamy 2000 (or other) do you prefer? Have you found an in that spreads less? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for your kind words! I just find the F to be a little smoother - which is of course because it as a larger tip-surface. But the EF is by no means bad at all. It really is just personal preference; and super detailed. They both really write nice. So if you have very small handwriting, maybe you should go with the EF. The EF still is no Japanese EF or needlepoint, so it does well on copy paper. And ink that works really well for me in the 2k is Diamine Florida Blue. I do have that in my Lamy 2000 F most of the time.
I own two: one with a fine nib and another with a medium nib. They are superb pens, but I was wondering whether they - in your opinion - are "work horse pens". For instance, would using one to write a large piece of work - such as a novel or play wear out the nib? The only fault I find with this pen is that the nibs are not easily replacable.
Hi Darryl. Thanks for your comment. I also own two. One F and one EF. I honestly do not think that you ever have to worry about the nib getting worn out. The tip of the nib is normally made from Iridium, which is a very hard material - you would have to write a looooooooot in order to wear that nib out. Will likely never happen. I think Goulet Pens does have an in depth video on that topic. Just think of how many 50+ year old vintage pens that people were writing with their whole life still get sold on eBay, just to have another owner writing with just that nib for another lifetime.
Great review, I found it very helpful. I somehow got the impression that the pen is difficult to clean, and thought users were limited to using the piston to pull water in and out, which would be quite tedious. So it was great to how easily it opens up for flushing. Thanks for such a great overview of an iconic pen.
Michael, I've just sourced this pen in the UK (October 2018) ~ £124.95 GBP ( 142.88 euros) - in an identical finish, so one year on from the production of this presentation. There is an extremely wide variation in nib sizes available, & typically, the broader the better (for myself); I'd definitely purchase the extra broad, altho' I know you prefer finer nibs. Having been around for fifty two years (that's seriously established), the current model still has a futuristic look to it, & in truth (despite the rave reviews), I have, for the most part, overlooked this writing instrument; on the strength of this review alone, I think I'll have to see about obtaining one - the nib is very impressive in (your) writing sample. Excellent review !! :D
Well done review! Concise yet thorough. Moved along at a nice pace. Great camera work. Could you do a review of inking the pen? Possibly changing ink colors, cleaning, etc.? Thank you!
Thank you very much for your kind feedback! The Lamy 2k fills and is cleaned just like any other piston filler. Just suck up and drain clear room temperate water repeatedly, until the water runs clean.
yes, it still is my favourite pen :). I recently got in a B one for review. Will post the video in some time to come. Wanted to see how a B works for me, both as a lefty, but also as a nib for daily writing. How are you getting along with your BB? You use it for journaling, or daily note-taking?
@@Scrivelynotes I use it daily! The BB is so much fun! I’ve started this hobby digging for EF nibs, but now I’m in the totally opposite spectrum. I use it mainly for signatures. I love to use Mont Blanc Black Permanent with it, it’s like writing with a sharpie. Signatures must impress…
Interesting to note that under your clip it states, Germany 2. Under mine it states, Germany 1. I have mine in the EF and it is an excellent writing tool. Thanks for your review on this pen, this review gave me that "push" to purchase this pen in Makrolon. Keep up the great work.
Randy Howitzer interesting bit of info. Thanks! I have an EF one as well. Interesting architect-grind‘ish characteristic on mine. Assuming you have the stainless steel then? How do you like that one?
Did you mention what ink you were using? I used Noodler's Ottoman Azure and I don't get the line variation you got in your down/cross strokes......I wonder if the ink may have contributed to that factor. Regardless, great pen.
Randy Howitzer not sure. I don’t remember. The review is too long time ago. But I know of others with the 2000 EF experiencing the same character on their pens.
@@Scrivelynotes Thanks for your response. Next ink I'll use may be the Lamy black and see if that would make a difference. If it doesn't, the pen is still of great quality. Anyways, I always look forward to your reviews. Keep up the great work. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and wish you a greater New Year.
Randy Howitzer yeah, let me know how it goes. The angle at which you hold the pen may also play a role (e.g. nibmeisters often ask for the writing angle when one orders an architect grind). Thanks for your kind words about my reviews - and happy new year to you!
Nice! Currently I own two Safari's and am interested in buying a Lamy 2000. Could you explain how to quickly and effectively clean the 2000 for ink changes?
Just as I show in the review. Unscrew the section, which will give you full access to the barrel, and flush with water. That should do for any regular ink (i.e. not iron gall, document proof, shimmer, and the like-inks).
Lourens Rolograaf Hi Scrively, Just ordered a 2000 OB as my most expensive pen sofar, what would be you very first though of the most ideal ink for this pen?
Well, you were honest... it was a gushfest , but I feel the same way I currently own 3 - XF - F - M and I plan to get a broad soon. I love the feel of the Makrolon.
I have one of these pens. I never liked the clip which has an unfinished aspect. For some reason, I prefer the Aurora 88 which preceded this pen by 15-20 years. The Lamy is a true classic and the makrolon is a great material. Too bad they didn't make the grip from it. Great review.
Justin Fulton not 100% sure of the chemistry and all that, but assume that any greased piston will always also leave some residue on the barrel as it travels forth and back. Maybe just doesn’t mix with the ink? As a matter of fact, I never encountered any issues. But I also rarely have to re grease my pens. And if I feel this may be needed, often one fill of a very lubricant/pen caring ink such as Sailor Souten already does the trick.
Love your reviews and I enjoyed this one. Interesting about the architect character on the EF nib. I love that. Have a Montblanc 146 EF with similar architect character. That may be enough reason for me to get another L2K. Have a medium nib on mine. Do you find the EF to have a sharp toothy feel? My MB EF while smooth definately has a sharp tooth especially on cheaper papers. I sent the nib to MB repair for nib adjustment but it still has a sharp tooth. Do you notice that at all with the Lamy EF? Just curious if that is common on other EF nibs with architect character.
Thanks a lot for your kind comment! The EF is fantastic. I do not find it sharp at all (even on standard copy/printer paper) and I also find it more forgiving to writing angle than the F, i.e. the 'sweet spot' is more noticeable on the F than on the EF.

Scrively you say you sent it off to a nibmeister. May I know who? I am fairly certain you are in Europe and I am looking for someone in Europe for some work.
My favourite is the pelikan m805 or m1000 but i think probably everyone should own a lamy 2000 what do you think? Is the fine scratchier than the medium?
This is actually my most favourite fountain pen .. I have 3 .. the B, M (my father's who also preferred this above all) and a F nib... all in Makrolon. . I think I will need the EF as well 😂😂.. thanks for the video
After years of trying out pens from pretty much every brand out there, thousands and thousands of euros and dozens of pens...Lamy 2000 is my favorite pen. Thank you for the review.
Thank you for your kind words. Yea, it is also my fave. Could I own only one fp, it would be this one
@@Scrivelynotes would you still say the same? if you could only own one, it would be this one?

I find that the Sweet spot on mine is pretty generous. I have no trouble writing with it at all. Very smooth and consistent.

Nice review as usual.
How would you compare the Lamy 2000 Fine nib size on paper in comparison to Pilot 74 ?
FrenchAccent thanks! The Pilot would be quite a bit finer.
Thank you for prompt reply. 👍
Respectfully...
Do you find the EF has more feedback or tooth than the F?
Fendran M yes, I think so.
Nice pen. The F and EF lines look the same.
Anthony Po thanks! They are actually very different. Also depends a little bit on the ink used.
I have one of these pens. I never liked the clip which has an unfinished aspect. For some reason, I prefer the Aurora 88 which preceded this pen by 15-20 years. The Lamy is a true classic and the makrolon is a great material. Too bad they didn't make the grip from it. Great review.
yeah, it surely is a matter of personal taste in many ways. Thank you for your kind words, too!
I love this pen. 55 years old this year.
All this design, yet the forgot to make it easy to disassemble and clean. How pray tell were they thinking of keeping the piston lubricated?
Justin Fulton why? You just remove the section and then go in that large opening with a qtip with silicon grease on. Not a problem at all.
@@Scrivelynotes grease your ink do ya?
Justin Fulton not 100% sure of the chemistry and all that, but assume that any greased piston will always also leave some residue on the barrel as it travels forth and back. Maybe just doesn’t mix with the ink? As a matter of fact, I never encountered any issues. But I also rarely have to re grease my pens. And if I feel this may be needed, often one fill of a very lubricant/pen caring ink such as Sailor Souten already does the trick.
