Ashley's enthusiasm about the design of the lamy 2000 opens up so many avenues for users to appreciate fountain pens even more :)
The Lamy 2000 fountain pen is now more special since you presented it so well, Ashley.
this was a very thorough and informative video, and the historical aspect of it was so interesting! i would absolutely love to see more videos on the history and design of stationery (maybe with neil, too, since he seems passionate about it as well!)
I have been wanting one for years - until I saw this video. Ashley made it sound so hard to clean and so easy to break that, plus impossible to grease the piston without getting grease where it shouldn't be that I'm now rethinking this pen big time. I should be thanking Ashley for saving me hundreds of dollars.
I've had mine for four years with absolutely no problems. Admittedly I only ever fill it with black ink, but when I wash it out I do so with several piston fills/empties in warm water, and have never had any issues. If I had to change colours that might be a different matter I suppose, but I've never felt the need to unscrew the middle section.
This pen never appealed to me. Then one day I woke up and had to have one. The medium nib is so unique, puts out a strong, thick, even, wet line like no other pen I own. I just love it.
Very well done historical presentation!!
Nice overview of one of my favorite pens👏👏. Word of caution- sections have been known to crack from over tightening, so be careful not to bear down too hard. For the brave I made a video showing how to do a full disassembly and nib swap.
Loved learning about the history of the design!
I love my Lamy 2000, I just bought it this past year on black Friday.
I seriously do not know why I waited so long to own one. It is an everyday writer for me. I currently have it in an EF nib and inked with Noodler’s Lexington Gray, my writing looks like I wrote with a pencil because of the ink and I have tried other inks in my 2000 but the Lexington Gray to me just looks the best + it’s water resistant...
I had been hesitant to buy the Lamy 2000 because of it costing so much; but I’m so glad I bought it.
My 2000 EF Lamy has written perfectly out of the box as soon as I open the box and inked it. I would buy a second Makrolon Lamy 2000 in hot minute and have to stop myself from doing so... I really want the silver one; but it doesn’t have a ink viewing chamber/window...
I think every fountain pen collector should own one. I would pick my Lamy 2000 EF over my Pilot Vanishing Point and other Pilot Pens, my Sailor Pro Gear Slims, and my TWSBI fountain pens I own every day, all day....
Thank you for making a great video and I love hearing about the history...
I have never found the ink window on the makrolon version super useful, so I wouldn't be put off buying the stainless steel version for that reason. However, though the stainless steel is a super writer, mine doesn't post well, which I find very frustrating, and it's the only thing I have against it. If you don't routinely post pens then go ahead, you'll love the stainless steel.
May I ask what you paid for it on Black Friday? I am looking on Amazon and it’s currently 138. It’s the lowest I’ve seen in a while. Just wanting to know if I should pull the trigger.
It was around $160 You need to buy it!@@audacious6312
Thank you so much for an interesting video, I really love to learn about the background in history of objects we use everyday. Your presentation was perfect and that's really got me interested in to fountain pens.
Very educational. Didn't know it's Bauhaus and premium material. Thanks Ashley!
Great video. Learned even more about this wonderful pen.
This was so informative and enjoyable!
This is fascinating ☺☺☺
Absolutely love my Lamy 2000! Loved this video also; so well done and I adore you Ashley!! I’m not sure but, I can’t find anything regarding the Lamy 2000 being displayed at the MoMa or if it ever was? Does anyone know if it was or still is? Hope everyone is happy and healthy ❤️💕🧿
Lovely video……I want one
Partially hooded.
You don't have to put the section on that tight, just grease the threads as well. No leaking.
Gold nib, piston filling, macloron pen, with a wonderful unique nib. It's not really expensive. It's one of the few pens you can toss in your pocket from day one.
Indeed. If you remove the section to clean the barrel out, grease the threads before screwing it back together.
Had one years ago and sold it, but have wanted to replace it ever since!
I absolutely love my Lamy 2000 black makrolon. However I bought the stainless steel version as well and am not so keen on that one since it doesn't post very well. The cap is loose when posted, which I find irritating and frustrating. However the black makrolon is perfect, one of my favourite pens, and, for a gold nib, reasonably priced too.
Nothing related to pen shown but where is Ashley's cute earrings from!? LOL
🥺
me before this video: I don’t get the hype around Lamy 2000s
…
me after this video: *stares intensely at the Lamy 2000 I just bought*
We are 6 minutes into this video and you have finally shown me the pen.
Why did you send 6 mins of a video about a pen not showing the pen? All that stuff you said could have been said while you did some glimmer shots of the pen or writing. Instead you just tease me by picking it up every now and again and then talking about the designer.
You mentioned the designer and bauhaus but then don't talk about how their ethos impacts the shape or weight or anything of the pen. You just talk about the brand.
Also! When you talk about bauhaus you call it a movement and show us a picture of the school. Maybe you could have shown us other bauhaus designs and how they relate to the design of the pen.
She s explaining the back story of Lamy and the pen itself.
Yawn. Go make your own video then.
