Your review is spot-on! The Lamy nibs definitely write 1/2 - 1x thicker than their Asian counterparts. Not a bad thing IMO, just something to consider. I bought my Lamy 2K (F) just under a year ago (May 23rd, 2024), and have gone through a bottle of the T52 Lamy blue/black already. It's my favorite pen in my (small) collection and is my daily-writer, filling 300+ page journals every month or so. (Aspiring author) The Lamy 2K with its silky smooth, glassy feel across the page (80-100gsm paper) writes wet and solid, no feathering and nearly no feedback "crossing the T's" Other pens in my collection include a Pilot Vanishing Point w/ both an M and F nib, a Lamy Studio LX "All-Black" w/ steel (F) nib (feels like a felt-tip marker on the page) , And several Cheap Hong-Dian pens in anything from EF to B, that I hand out when people are curious. Their nibs are surprisingly decent for a first try, w/o being expensive enough to care if someone is too rough. Thank you for the video!
I have a EF...my first Lamy 2000, and I wasn't expecting that Architect nib! But was pleasantly surprised as I enjoy the architect nib. Thank you for sharing your experience and comparison. I feel like there aren't as many reviews with the EF nib for the Lamy 2000. I wonder if we bought from the same seller...I bought on eBay and mine came in the small Safari black box and a Lamy cartridge :P
I got my Lamy 2000 via an endless pens back to school bundle. I couldn't choose the nib size though, so I ended up with a broad nib. It's growing on me, but I think I might have mine ground down into a fine or medium. I love the hand-feel of the pen and it's very comfortable, but I just don't think broad nibs work with my handwriting.
@@thestationerydev Ha, very true. Not least because of the desire to try the different nibs. And the pen remains a firm favorite of mine. One of my three is the stainless steel one.

Sounds like a solid collection! Thanks for watching!

Funny, maybe so! Glad you enjoy yours!
Lamy publishes their tip widths with tolerances. When you look them up you will see that with tolerances adjacent tip sizes overlap :)
That makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the additional info!

All part of the process!
I have the M, B and BB in my trio of Lamy 2k. I love the broad best. I might get the F in a potential purchase of a fourth 2k.
They do tend to multiply!
