This is my brand new, (new to me, as I believe I may actually be the third owner of this pen) Lamy 2000. I bought it as an Extra Fine, and I can only assume it is, because I can not immediately see any markings on it to distinguish it as an Extra Fine. The nib is as smooth as BUT-TAH. It's easily the smoothest nib I have ever used, more so than my medium nibbed Safari, and even the medium Vanishing Point I owned for 3 days.
Filled with Noodler's Black, it writes smooth & wet. No bleeding or feathering (typical for me with Noodler's Black)
The pen is nondescript, which I like. It reminds me of a Flair felt tipped pen with the texturing on the outside. It's easy to hold, and it's perfectly balanced in my hand. I would expect no fatigue from using this pen.
If I'm at least the 3rd owner, I wonder why other people didn't like/want it.
I'm very happy. It cost me $79 with shipping, and I'll go out on a limb to say that I'd pay full retail to replace it if I had to.
So...should I even bother having those 3 Parker 51's restored? LOL We'll see. For now, I'm Very Happy.
