    If you are ordering the fountain pen and you are trying to get to $49, you may as well order a z27 converter because you will need one anyway. They usually throw in a complimentary cartridge but this is a fairly wet pen so that wont last long.

    Herbin drawing inks are also on special ($3) and its well worth getting a couple. That should get you there.

    • tsunamisurfer on 27/08/2023 - 00:36

      Doesn't it come with a converter already?

      Its in the specs.

      • MrBlueSky on 27/08/2023 - 00:45

        I don't think it will come with the converter, but we'll see!

      • WasBargain on 27/08/2023 - 00:51

        Refill with LAMY T10 giant ink cartridge or Z27 LAMY converter for bottled ink

        Does not say included like the "blue ink" just above it.

      Yeah! And while you are at it - what's the difference between a roller coaster and a hot air balloon?

      • poorguy on 28/08/2023 - 23:27

        Poor me, I thought fountain and ballpoint were model names.

        I've actually owned a Lamy which a friend of mine bought me as a gift when he travelled to Germany, but to be honest I think it is not as good as some Japanese pens that I regularly use, like the uniball UMN-207.

        • seamonkey on 28/08/2023 - 23:39

          I was just messing about. Can't understand why anyone would downvote your comment..Legit seemed like a reasonable question.

    Thanks. Bought this and the Lamy studio

    Will be interesting to see how these feel relative to the plastic safaris

    Some nice kaweko pens too

    • Schrodinger on 27/08/2023 - 01:27

      Same. I already have a Lamy studio blue (paid more than double the current price for that) . For this price it's a steal.

      Have have 20+ fountain pens and Studio is my favourite so far.

      • Rincewind71 on 27/08/2023 - 02:22
        +2

        I am the opposite, I have a blue Lamy Aion and a collection of Safaris and Al-Stars. In my opinion the Aion is a different beast altogether and you'll likely love or hate to write with it. Compared to the Safaris and Al-Stars, the Aion is heavier and slightly bigger/longer making it feel solid and robust, but this is the same reason it also feels clumsier, more unbalanced and less refined than the Safari or Al-Star. On the plus side ink delivery is similar and as reliable as the Safari and Al-Star and the metallic colour choices are eye catching. I think this pen would fit someone with larger hands and/or those finding the Safari and Al-Star too small and uncomfortable to hold.

    • park it on 27/08/2023 - 01:31

      Was the studio on sale?

      • Schrodinger on 27/08/2023 - 01:33
        +2

        Yes the brown version is at 69.50. I've never seen the studio that cheap.

        • Tehcookiemonsta on 27/08/2023 - 01:48

          Is the LAMY Scala any good? It's $101.50 down from $300 +

          Also would you recommend the studio as a first fountain pen lol.

          • Schrodinger on 27/08/2023 - 03:41
            +1

            @Tehcookiemonsta: Lamy Scala and Studio are pretty similar. Can't go wrong with either. In most colours, the grip section is gloss metal which I like but some people have grip issues with that. So if that's a potential problem, you might have to go with a different model/colour.

        • park it on 27/08/2023 - 01:51

          Thanks! Got both. Black studio would have been nice. Brown will do. Gotta buy some ink now… any deals on inks other than the one mentioned above?

          • Tehcookiemonsta on 27/08/2023 - 02:08

            @park it: There is this set of 4 which seems to have 3 common colors to use.

            • park it on 27/08/2023 - 03:43

              @Tehcookiemonsta: Looking for just black 😬

            • Schrodinger on 27/08/2023 - 03:49
              +1

              @Tehcookiemonsta: Herbin inks are good. Herbin 1670 Emerald Of Chivor is probably my favourite. But this one is sold as a drawing ink. So eventhough you can use it in fountain pens, you'd probably need more frequent cleaning - this is not a day to day use ink. I'd rather get the regular Lamy ink (or any other decent brand).

              Edit : I personally prefer Pilot, Pelikan and Sailor inks for daily use. Waterman too. I wouldn't buy Lamy bottles unless they are at a discount.

          • stockastics on 27/08/2023 - 09:10

            @park it: Noodler's ink

            • Schrodinger on 27/08/2023 - 12:37

              @stockastics: Yes Diamine, Noodlers and Rohrer & Klingner too. I still feel the big company brands like Pilot, Pelikan (which has a nice black) and Waterman are easier on maintainance and cleaning for daily use.

              Sailor has a nice textured and shiny black (Kiwa Guro) but those inks work better if you clean your pen every time you refill which is kind of a pain.

          • Tangenyahu on 28/08/2023 - 18:31

            @park it: Just keep in mind that most fountain pen inks are water-based, and therefore aren't resistant, so if you're looking for something that doesn't run if it gets wet (I've lost work due to this), or if you need inks that are at least semi-permanent for legal reasons, you've got to be careful what you buy!

            • Schrodinger on 31/08/2023 - 21:01

              @Tangenyahu: Rohrer & Klingner Scabiosa (Iron Gall) is my favourite semi permanent ink (and the only one that I rely on to be so). It's not a archival/legal ink but the colour and the history of iron gall inks makes it worth it.

    • djevoultion on 27/08/2023 - 05:48

      Same. Got M nib for Lamy Studio. Found it far smoother than EF or F.

      • park it on 27/08/2023 - 06:10

        Got EF. Hopefully it’s not too rough…

        • djevoultion on 27/08/2023 - 06:38

          Buy the Aion in M. If you don't like the EF you can swap the nib.

  • johnny1983 on 27/08/2023 - 05:42

    Thanks, OP, great find. Ordered two medium fountain pens along with the ink converter so you can bottled ink. I've recently discovered the benefits of fountain pens after buying a highly-rated generic fountain pen off Amazon. One word of warning though - the inks are pretty much permanent. Almost spilled a bottle onto our cream carpet! Takes days to come off your fingers!!!

So to get this correct the refiller is easy to clean out and swap colors or get 4 or so for different colors? Also do they stay fine in the refiller if not used for example 2 or 3 weeks?

    Mine came in the morning.
    Have to say I prefer the Lamy Studio much more than the Lamy Scala. Still, not a bad price for the Scala. I paid much more to get the Studio.

    Aion also feels cheaper than an Al-Star for some reason (again not bad for the price)

  • djevoultion on 09/09/2023 - 09:57

    Warning: Do not buy from this store Their after sales service is non-existent. I purchased 3 Lamy fountain pens from them. The Scala has a couple of blemishes which I will ignore. The Studio has a faulty cap and would not stay on. I contacted their support about the faulty cap and they asked me to send in a video which I promptly did. It's now been 2 days and I have not heard from them. I sent a follow up email, no reply so far. The contact number listed on their website is also not working.

    • citybargainhunter on 14/09/2023 - 13:22

      OK they emailed me a return postage label yesterday, and said they will send me a replacement. Will keep this thread updated.

      • undien on 15/09/2023 - 00:31
        +2

        Check your replacement. They've sent me a replacement Studio and it had the same issue. The Aion also had white mould growing inside the pen.
        I recommend everyone check their Aion by unscrewing it and looking down the back part of it and see if there is a layer of mould on it.

        I've requested a refund for all my pens still yet to get a reply.

        • djevoultion on 20/09/2023 - 09:50

          @undien I just unscrewed the Aion and checked and there's white residue (mould?) on the back part of my pen also !

          • undien on 21/09/2023 - 00:59

            @djevoultion: Yeah.. I definitely think it's a storage issue/ humidity issue or something and I think affected the batch of pens they had.

            I'm sure you can clean it off but it grossed me out enough to not want it.

            • djevoultion on 21/09/2023 - 07:42

              @undien: Did they accept a return for you ?

              • undien on 21/09/2023 - 08:50

                @djevoultion: Yeah they replied I could get a full refund, so I sent my purchases back.

                It's a shame because I wanted the pen as well but I feel like every Aion they have will have that issue.

          • undien on 22/09/2023 - 13:35

            @djevoultion: Also, be careful with mould and inks. If you want to fill this pen use a syringe to fill converters or use disposable cartiges to prevent ink wells from getting contaminated.

            The last thing you want is mould in the ink which could potentially ruin other pens as well / ruin the ink.
