Lamy Safari Extra-Fine Fountain Pen, Charcoal

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).

Lamy safari extra fine writes soo smooth and so well. No doubt everyone's talking about it. Once you start writing with this pen, you will keep writing with it. Even recapping the pen feels so smooth. I feel like re writing the whole scenes of Mahabharata with this pen. No joke!!

If you correlate a pen's weight to its build quality then probably look for other options. But if you like lightweight pens then this is a great purchase at the price point it comes.Lamy safari is light and has a robust build quality. The fit and finish is also great. It comes with a Lamy blue cartridge, a Z28 converter and a warranty card. The wire clip on the cap is stiff. The two facets in the grip section and the textured finish helps you to grip it securely and comfortably (if you have a tripod grip of course, otherwise change how you grip the pen or look for other options). The barrel tapers very slightly and has an ink window which is very functional. The converter holds approximately 0.8 ml ink.The nib is fairly smooth and has slight feedback. Although it is finer than Parker Vector, I found it smoother than the Vector. Smoothness also depends on the ink and paper you pair it with. Lamy EF nib's line width is in between Pilot's F and M steel nibs. The ink flow is moderate.The nib is easily interchangeable with other Lamy steel or gold nibs.Overall it is a great pen for long hours writing, note taking and everyday use. Because it has good build quality, it doesn't need much care or handling. I am very happy with the purchase.Edit: Comparing the Lamy Safari EF with Pilot Metropolitan F, I found the Pilot noticeably smoother even though it's finer. Whether smoothness is a priority varies from person to person but for me it is. So I am decreasing one ⭐.Edit 2: Lamy's F nib is also smoother than its EF nib though it produces slightly thicker lines (sometimes not noticeable at all). So I would recommend to go for the fine nib rather than the extra fine nib. Pictures of writing by the two nib sizes is attached.

I am very fond of fountain pens. Pilot ef nib thin and pretty. But lamy ef writes very beautifully. Request to all fountain pen users lamy writes very well. Beautiful writing even on thin paper. You can trust this pen.Ef nib is beautiful. But it does not look so beautiful in appearance, but it works beautifully. Hindu language will be useful for writing. Now I am thinking of getting lamy nexx.

Superb pen, I just love the smooth yet fine output from the nib.Lamy is always been my go-to fountain pen.It comes with a convertor to switch from cartridges to ink from a bottle.

Some time cap is too loseI think price too highNot value for money

If you need to make notes or write for extended periods, extra fine Lamy is the intimate workhorse fountain pen. The unique grip ensures that one holds the pen in the ideal manner. Ink flow is seamless. The extra fine nib ensures no smudging takes place and it’s possible to write in a small hand as well.Don’t use very thick inks with aa EF nib.I’m using Waterman inks.

No wonder this is a popular fountain pen although it's costly but is you have the budget and want amazing pen which feels amazing and writing is fabulousGo for it

A great starter ink pen. Have spent months writing with it, no complaints at all. The ink is free flowing, the nib does not bend, and the writing is extremely legible.

Bei einem LAMY Füller weiß man eigentlich, was man bekommt. Er liegt gut in der Hand, schreibt angenehm und funktioniert zuverlässig. Gerade für Schule und Alltag ist er praktisch und wird regelmäßig benutzt. Auch die Verarbeitung macht einen guten Eindruck. Wir sind mit LAMY schon länger zufrieden und auch dieser Füller erfüllt unsere Erwartungen.

lamy safari plume extra-fine, j'adore, pour moi le meilleur depuis longtemps, accessible €, endurant, jamais eu de problèmes quelque soit l'encre utilisée (en flacon), autant pour l'écriture que pour le dessin graphique qui est mon utilisation, c'est fluide !

Pierwsze moje LAMY. Jestem pod wrażeniem jak to pięknie pisze. Wystarczająco długie, i nieco za lekkie do moich XXXL dłoni. Ale to nie wina pióra, tylko moja :-)Sprzedawca chyba zbyl niefrasobliwie zapakował pióro do koperty. Pudełko uległo zniszczeniu , ale pióro całe :-)

Excelente pluma y relación calidad precio. Es excelente para uso diario. El trazo es continuo despues de un tiempo razonable de acoplamiento a tu estilo se escritura. No se chorrea fácilmente.
