Lamy Nib Overview: Extra-Fine to 1.5mm 

Thanks for another useful video. :-) I only just recently "discovered" how superbly the Lamy 1.1mm nib writes, after using nothing but their F and M nibs for so long. The Lamy stub nibs allow me to write in cursive, at a constantly moving, well-flowing rate, with no skips or "drags" into the paper, despite how crisp the lines that they make look, compared to other stubs I've used in more "traditional" #6 style nibs. I'm kicking myself for not having tried these sooner.

I have two Safaris and a Lamy Joy, the latter comes with a selection of sections with different nib sizes. One of the Safaris has a 1.1 italic nib, which I had to work on, because it was too scratchy, like a crisp italic, when it first arrived. This now writes like a smooth stub, with lots of line variation. I mostly use a 1.1 in the Joy, again I've worked on the nib to make it more me-friendly. The 1.5 and 1.9 for the Joy are still sharp, but I don't use them for regular writing. Some like crisp italics; I find them hard to write with, prefering a smooth stub. The other Safari has a medium nib which 'sings'! I like Lamy pens. One day, I'll buy a Lamy 2000. One day!

Old video I know, but I have just discovered it. Love the steel broad and bicolour gold medium nibs!

I swapped a 1.5 lamy nib on to a Wing Sung 3008 piston filler pen and it's really good. I use Diamine Havasu Turquiose ink and the shading is lovely.

Thanks for the video, it's very helpful!

Nice review! I love my Lamy Safari with a medium nib.

totally agree about the lack of black italics.. would've been so much better on my petrol..

Fabulous video. Thank you.

Thanks for this. I'm finding the Lamy extrafines an absolute pain to write with. So toothy and draggy. Nothing at all like a pilot or platinum extra fine. Very disappointing.

Hello. I wanna use this pen for math. So on normal paper. Would fine nib be too much ink or what do u think?

Hey! Thanks for this helpful video. What color is your turquoise-y AL-Star? : )

I am curious to know why you didn't show a 1.9litre - that really lays down some rubber. I have a 1.9 on a black Alstar - useful for marking up TV gides/programs so I don't miss anything.

Thank you Michael for the nice video. I actually have a black lamy 1.1 mm stub nib. I wanted a black stub nib for my black Al-Star, and I had a spare nib of a size I didn't use that much, so I stubbed it, and it works very well.
