Lamy Studio Fountain Pens Reviews

The Lamy Studio is just a beautiful pen. The seamless design, the shape, the clip, everything. EXCEPT... the metal grip and the nib. At this price, you start getting into better nibs with other pens, and Lamy's Z50 nibs are just subpar once you go past the $50 pen mark. They tend to be inconsistent, I find them to be dry and you never know what to expect from a Lamy nib.
Regarding the section, it is slippery. No way around it. This pen would benefit so much from a matte finish on the section. There are some versions that come with a rubberized grip, and I know there are places you can get the rubberized grip by itself or lightly sand the section, but you shouldn't need to do this for a pen you are paying $79. It's not outrageous in price, but at this price point there are good options that don't need tinkering for basic functionality.

Overall, I like this pen and I recommend it, just be aware you are paying for the design and looks, more than the functionality of the pen.

The Lamy Studio stainless steel finish allows use of the very good Z50 nib with a good round rubber covered grip. The medium nib is smooth and wet making the pen very pleasant to write with . I enjoy the pen very much.

This is a lovely, lovely pen. Sometimes, with heavier pens like this, the balance and feel will be enough to keep the extra weight from bothering me. That's not quite the case with this pen (i.e., it FEELS heavy to ME), but it's not too bad.

All Penchalet pens are great

Great writer. Love the way it feels. Nice matte finish. Looks classy. Well worth the money.

Beautiful but needed to be tuned because it didn't write correctly it is the box

Excellent fountain pen. Writes silky smooth and looks great..

The Studio is tied with my favorite Lamy pen, the 2000. Nibs are super easy to swap and they have a decent variety of nib sizes, it handles all ink brands that I've used like a champ, and the fit & finish on the Studio.....WOW. The tolerances are tight and solid and smooth. Just a pleasure all around!

My comment is about Pen Chalet's outstanding customers service.

I bought the stainless steel version. Others have commented that the pens are heavy, but I don't find it to be so. It seems to be just the right weight. The cap posts securely. I bought the 14K replacement nib, and changed the steel nib out for the 14K nib. I've found that Lamy steel EF nibs are scratchy, but the 14K EF nib is very smooth. It is also slightly wider than the steel EF nib.

The only flaw is that the converter tends to let ink hold up in the back end, as you store the pen with the nib up in your pocket. When you put the nib down, the ink won't always flow to the bottom of the converter. I am going to flush the converter several times with ammonia to try to clean out any oil residue.
