LAMY Black cp1 Fountain Pen with Fine Nib and Blue Ink (L056F)

I like the fountain pen, but I believe it is a bit to skinny for my big hands.not for long writing sessions. writes well and feels very light in your hand.as mentioned I am a fan a Lamy fountain pen designs, I also own a safari and a Lamy 2000.

I have kaweco sports EF and medium, Twisbi eco, pilot metropolitan, moonman m2, Schaffer Agio, about 10 common and a couple next level ups and this is my favourite. Writes really well, very smooth and keeps up to fast pace. Perfectly balanced when posted and slim which is now my preference. Can use it for long periods of time without my hand cramping up. The EF nib writes the same thickness as my EF Lamy safari. Not as fine as the metropolitan or moonman fine/EF. Does not come with a converter though so pick yourself up one of those separately. Definitely recommended.

Great pen, really top notch.2 big gripes for being $67:No converter!It's just a well-finished plastic, but feels nice to hold. edit: it's definitely not plastic!

Lamy is known for quality, but they missed the mark with this one. When I started to inspect the pen, I noticed that there was no notable snap to lock the cap in place. Trying to understand what the problem was I saw that when you loosend the section from the barrel a couple of mm, the section was able to penetrate further into the cap and allow a solid snap but this left the section very loose. I thought maybe you needed to place a cartridge in place and that would allow you to tighten the section down and get the snap at the same time. No luck.I assume that either there was a defect with the threading of the section, or the insert in the cap was in too deep.I have just come back from the post office, returning the pen.I am a bit dissappointed...

Happy with the Lamy CP-1 and happy with the seller. Arrived on time for Xmas.Love the way it writes.
