My humble collection. I'm happy with it.

Re: Lamy Collection
My Lamy collection is rather heavily skewed to the top of the range:
Vista
2000 M
2000 'BBBBB' (lovely nib)
2000 2k limited edition
2000M
2000 blackwood ballpoint
Accent with platinum hoops
Accent with briarwood
Accent briarwood rollerball
I'm not sure Lamy does a BBBBB, but it sure writes like it!

Re: Lamy Collection
Nice collection of 2000s.
We both have the Briarwood Accent in common; how do you like the mechanism to unscrew the section to access the converter/cartridge ?

Re: Lamy Collection
Lisantica, what type of nib do you have for your 2000 ?

Re: Lamy Collection

Might as well save 150 bucks and just pour.
"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.
Re: Lamy Collection
I much prefer the Al-Star to the Safari, so my all time favorite was the coffee. I've just managed to get my hands on one, and it's on its way, can't wait!

Re: Lamy Collection
Brandon, another great photo as usual. The new BlueGreen is another one of those hard to capture colours - it looks more mint green in photos.
I must try in with the work photocopier. The photocopier made the silver-blue actually appear than colour instead of the usual silver-mauve.
Looks like you will need to invest in a new Lamy pen case for your collection.

Re: Lamy Collection
'BBBBB' is the only way I can describe the nib... you can get one from Oxonian aka John Sorowka, our home-grown UK n*bme*ster (not allowed to call him that but you get the idea).
How I got it is classic. I was looking at his display at a pen show and said, heh heh heh, that's a Lamy 2000, I don't need another one of them. And he said oh yes you do. Try it.
And I was hooked.
And I have now got a Taxus ballpoint to go with the blackwood, and a regular L2000 ballpoint, and an Accent pencil.
Darn it, you know something, these things are almost as dangerous as Parker 51's ... (and let's not go there!)
