I got this Lamy 2000 that was less than a month old (according to the original owner) with an extra fine in exchange for one of my Vanishing Points with a Medium nib which he seems to like.

The style, appearance and feel of the Lamy 2000 seems rather nice, piston filling feels real smooth. It also seems really easy to post and clip.

Main gripe was so far every ink I'm putting in is way too dry, and the nib while it is aligned does not appear to be all that smooth, it's not like scratchy but it's not something to write home about either. Worse bit is it seems way too dry, I've tried Lamy Blue, Noodler's Texas Blue Steel, Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo, Iroshizuku Syo-ro and finally Aurora Black. Even soaked the nib/feed in some diluted ammonia just in case there may have been some previous clogging.

Checking after extra cleaning and inking with Aurora black which I'm told is "slippery"
