Here's a little something I used this morning, let's see who identifies it:
chris.hale said:I've been using fountain pens pretty much exclusively for a few years now. One of the ones I use most is my Lamy Vista with a z24/26 frankenverter so it has the nubs to hold it in place and a black knob. It's a very comfortable pen to use and, against expectation, I think it feels nicer than the Al-Star. Despite being a very inexpensive pen I'm quite attached to it.
I'm also a huge fan of the Lamy 2000, they're brilliantly designed and I love how understated it looks. I usually use one of these at work, often with blue-black ink.
My absolute favourite though is my Pelikan M805 in blue. This was the pen I always hoped one day to own and I treated myself to one when my daughter was born. It's just beautiful. The nibs run very broad though, I ordered a fine and it's definitely on the broad side of medium. At first this was a disappointment, but I got to like it as it shows the ink off better than a finer nib, and it's really smooth. I tried to sell my medium Lamy 2000 a few months ago because I found it too broad, but it didn't sell. Now I'm glad because after I got used to the Pelikan I now prefer the broader 2000 nib.
