LAMY safari vista - Fountain Pen with ergonomic grip & polished steel nib in size F - ideal for any Writing & Calligraphy - including LAMY T 10 blue cartridge - Right-Handed

I've kept my eye on this pen for some time and I finally saw it drop in price, so I had to nab it!First off, the Vista and the Safari are the same pen. The only difference is the vista is transparent, safari is a solid color. Pen wise it's the same exact thing.This next part isn't necessarily about the pen itself, but the packaging came in a plastic baggy and no box or official packaging. Honestly, I could care less that it comes in a box. The product itself was in un-used condition and how it writes is what matters in the end.I got the medium nib and comparing it with a few other pens, it's probably a true "Medium" and not like a pilot where it's really a finer tip than advertised.The triangle grip is probably the most "controversial" part of the pen. I'm someone who is in the camp of that I enjoy it. It's a comfortable grip. The metal clip I thought would probably be flimsy is anything but! That thing is rock solid! My pen came with a disposable cartridge installed, but again, I didn't get the official packaging.The ink flow is just astounding. Some pens that I own will sometimes "skip" or "scratch". I have yet to experience that with this pen! I'm not a fancy pen collector, with my most "expensive" pen being $35. This pen though just feels so high quality.One thing I have noticed is that I haven't smudged any of my writing. That's something I typically find myself doing. I don't know if it's because I'm using the disposable ink cartridge vs. my bottled ink (I bought a converter, but I haven't used it yet), but I attribute it to the way I have to hold the pen due to the grip.Overall, if you wish to get into fountain pens or you're already a connoisseur, this is an amazing writing instrument.

Absolutely love this pen. I've been using fountain pens for about 15 years and this pen is one of the smoothest writing instruments you can find at this price range. Well worth the cost.

You won't feel comfortable while trying to write fast, but it's a pleasure to write slowly with this pen. The color is nice. I ordered nib size F, but I've received nib size M, which is too thick. You can't write small letters with M size. I haven't noticed any leakages, and the quality is great for its price. So my advice is to buy this one if you are interested in a fountain pen.

Easy and smooth to write with. Great for new users of fountain pens. I'll be using this during the summer months!

I purchased the scarlet version of this pen and the color representation onscreen is accurate, but the color is not scarlet, it's more of a burgundy wine in color which is lovely, just not scarlet. I got the EF nib intending to use the pen for line work over watercolor, but the nib is more like a fine nib in my opinion and it's a little more broad than I prefer for that use. For everyday writing though, it's fantastic. The ink flow is smooth and consistent, the nib glides over the paper, and the pen is comfortable in the hand. I wish it came with a converter as I don't prefer to use cartridges. I'll be using up the blue cartridge that came with the pen and then will use an ink syringe to refill the cartridge with my preferred inks.Note: this order shipped from Germany and arrived in less than a week, in fact it arrived a day earlier than expected and before the order I placed that was being shipped from within the US.

If you are looking for an inexpensive fountain pen look no further! This is the best fountain pen for your money! It writes smoothly and the in is great. I'm not a fan of blue ink so order the set of black ink with your purchase. Trust me you will not find a better fountain pen at this price range! I use it for everyhting now!

Llegó a tiempo, y un producto de buena calidad. No viene en caja, pero por el precio (con descuento) me pareció suficiente.

This pen writes beautifully and is very smooth. It takes some time to switch from ball-point but well worth the effort. And I find that the lighter touch is easier on my hand/wrist which I am pleasantly surprised with. Also, while I really don't care what people think, this pen is a "looker" and impresses everyone who sees it.
