The Lamy Persona, designed by Mario Bellini in 1990 is one of my favourite Lamys. Until now, I was able to catch three different models:
one is still missing...

Nice on Christof. I think I have the one you are missing Vera
Nice ones Christof.
Nice design, never seen on ein real life, but the Makrolon (polycarbonate) looks great
Unix is user-friendly ; it's just picky about who it's friends are -
Woww! Am in love, especially with the all platinum one at the bottom.

Christof, when you are writing with these does the ribbed grip feel at all irritating? Also, have you any ideas what sort of price one should fetch in the second hand market?

To be honest, I only have tested the Makrolon Persona. The all metal Personas are to heavy for me. I rather collect than use these pens.
But the section feels very comfortable and the nibs are fantastic, elastic and smooth. Very nice nibs.
I am not sure about prices but can tell you what I paid for mines:
21 Black ca. $120.- used but good condition
22 Platinum $275.- NOS, mint and boxed condition
023 Makrolon $ 120.- used but good condition
The original box is quite nice. It was designed by Mario Bellini as well. I really like it much:
and there was a matching case too:
hope this helps.

Thank you Christof. That helps a lot.
Great post! I've always loved that pen, but only ever got the new "Imporium" (present from my father) which is clearly a notch below the "Persona" with its ring nib and clip actuation.
The second one is handsome. Is that the makrolon? Nibs on those look a little like Parker 65s.
Yes, Black barrel and silver cap is the one with Makrolon barrel.
Good observation about the nib - nibs have actually similarity with paker 65 nibs!

Ahh, I hadn't even noticed the roll stop on the others. Very nice.
