Lamy Nexx Coral for 2013
http://www.lamy.com/content/new_prod...index_eng.html
"Cap made of coral plastic" - I assume this is the regular plastic cap done in a coral colour which appears as a sort of orange-pinkish-red colour in the photo.
It is hard to get excited about this as the pen is the same old Nexx/NexxM body with just a different colour cap.
Lamy should really redesign a new metal cap for what is really a rather nice pen. The current plastic caps whilst servicable don't do the pen any favours and cheapen it.

According to the Lamy 2013 catalogue list on KMPN's blog the nexx M olive will be replaced by a nexx M opal green this year. http://kmpn.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/...ct-update.html

It has a whole in the top of the clip for the cap. I wonder if they're trying to appeal to those who fancy wearing it on a chain around their neck.
Yes both the metal and plastic clip version have square and round holes respectively for that purpose. I suppose with the chain you would not bother to post the cap; it does post securely but look a bit odd.

I love my Nexx... It's more comfortable that the Safari.
I've recently thought about grinding a Safari nib into a right foot oblique, because I think that would help me write naturally and still hold the pen the way it wants to be held.
"What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also loved runes and letters, and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.
Which nib would you start with ? M , B or 1.1 italic ?Originally Posted by snedwos
I've thought about smoothing the corner or sides of a 1.1 slightly.

Any regular round nib. It seems odd though, right foot obliques are the wrong way round for a righty, aren't they?

I always get confused with obliques and have to go look at Richard Binders nib basics and get interested in other stuff which makes me forget what I was meant to be doing. If you are left-handed you have think about if your going above or below the line.

Re: Lamy Nexx Coral for 2013
Anyone else not impressed with the way this pen posts? I right a lot as an NP in a busy clinic, and I used the Nexx for the first time today. The posted cap still felt really loose. I caught myself adjusting over and over. That bugged me

Yes, you really have to push the cap on hard to make sure it stays. I suspect the pen has been designed not to be posted as the triangular barrel shape prevents the pen rolling around flat surfaces and the cap has a lanyard hole on the clip possiblely for hanging around your neck.

I agree with Bogon. If you push it on firmly, it posts. You can make it wobble, but it won't fall off. That said I don't post mine; but I don't post any pens.
Also agree with snedwos - it's much more comfortable to use than a safari.

And feels better made, the barrel transition from triangular to circular is really well done. Such a same Lamy don't have a more sophisticated version with a better looking cap.
