The style of this pen is awesome. Very simplistic in design but screams professional. Love that the two parts of the pen screw together seamlessly. Selecting an ink color is not complicated. If you're having trouble, this link (https://www.jetpens.com/blog/the-lamy-2000/pt/349) will take you to JetPen's Lamy 2000 page where you'll find simple instructions. The ink is subpar. My suggestion: fill it with Jetstream's D1 hybrid ink refills. I find that the 0.5 mm is perfect for me. Excellent writing instrument!

Okay, so I spent some effort adjusting my writing to the pen. You have to press harder than I would like, and it is broad, but it has to be said, this is simply the most elegant, professional, beautiful, functional pen. Perhaps it’s worth pressing a bit?

This could be so good if the refills were better. The ink colours it comes with are among the nicest I've seen in ballpoints. But they are too broad and have consistent hard starts for all the colours.

Still looking for D1 refills. The gel inks (Zebra) are too light in colour for my taste. Perhaps Pilot's ballpoint refill might change that.

Neglected to include this in my earlier review... because of its pendulum weight component, the refills rattle within the pen while retracted. If it had been any other writer, I would probably find myself not using it as often. The look and feel of this pen overshadows any feelings I have about the sound heard. This is an absolutely beautiful pen.

really like these. own a few. great style, great features, in expensive
