Just ordered a Lamy Safari to hit same day shipping on Amazon for a couple other items I needed... Will report back when it's inked and I've had a chance to play with it a little.
Been playing with it for a few days now. Thoughts:
* It's light. It's about the lightest pen I have so far (not saying much, there).
* I like the bevels for indexing finger position.
* The Lamy blue is a little light for my taste, but flows smoothly and has some nice shading qualities.
* It's kinda noisy - almost sounds like writing with a pencil. The next noisiest pen I have is my Waterman Kultur "Phileas" that I picked up at the Musee de Marmotan in 2000.
* "Fine" is in the hand of the holder... The Lamy is barely finer than my Stypen (MINI Motoring Catalog 2003), but most of my "fine" pens aren't nearly as the Waterman. I would almost classify the Waterman as Extra Fine compared to the rest that I have.
* The black-tone nib takes getting used to.
