I go through ink pretty quickly, so I decided to get separate bottles of ink and a converter for this Lamy. The converter is Lamy brand and from the Lamy sellers. I am not crazy about the design of the converter for this particular pen. The converter has a rectangular twist mechanism for filling/emptying the converter and is thin and very fragile. Mine cracked my first use and I had to get a replacement. So although I like this pen itself, the brand's converter (not included) is a mark against it for me.
As I said, I got this for my first fountain pen. I have since bought some others with different size nibs and different designs/brands. I like the width of letters/lines using this pen, but I will say that this Lamy is less comfortable to hold long-term (as a student, I write a LOT of notes) than my other pens. It works fine and the price is good and I still use it very frequently. But the triangular area where your fingers hold the pen is very tight and causes some strain in my hand. I have some wider/fatter fountain pens that are circular and easier to hold that I prefer to use.
TL;DR
pros- cheap, writes well, cartridge refills nice
cons- uncomfortable to write with for extended time (fine for memos, not for novels), if opt to buy converter for ink bottle refill (cheaper long-term) Lamy Brand converter poor design
I'm still trying to decide whether I like the material from which the body of the pen is made. The Lamy website states that it's made from ABS plastic, which it a rather lightweight --but sturdy-- plastic. I can see the benefits of using this material (cost, hand fatigue, colors available) and the more I use the pen, the more I like it. I think I was just surprised because the other pens I've used were heavier and more robust. But it's easy to carry this pen and to use this pen on a daily basis because of its lightweight and inexpensive design.
Another feature that is growing on me is the "spring action" metal clip. It's a large clip, but because of the round tip --the curve in the metal-- it slides into a pocket easily.
Overall I give this a 5 star rating because if the blend of quality and affordability. Lamy pens are designed and made in Germany and I suspect that this could be a contributing factor to its quality and practical design. If you're a fan of fountain pens, or considering trying a fountain pen, start with this one.
This pen has a bunch of good features for a beginner without a hefty price tag. I know plenty of people that enjoy calligraphy and this is the only pen they own. And if you find yourself wanting more you can get a flex nib or any host of other nibs and keep the same pen you've grown to love.
I only had a small issue and it was that the listing said it came with more ink cartridges but mine did not. So I bought some since this was for a gift and I didn't have time to go back and forth with the seller about it.
First off, the pen is beautiful and a minimalists dream when you consider how crazy fountain pens can get. The F nib that’s included was exactly what I was looking for and has very little flex. The include nib is black, just like the pen itself.
Rather than using the blue ink provided in the pen, I opted to switch it out for one of the black cartridges, and installation was a breeze. I can definitely see how purchasing replacement carts could become an issue, so I strongly suggest getting the piston mod and a bottle of ink. The pen writes like a dream, and my art instantly looked 23% better as soon as I began drawing with the Safari. I don’t think that Lamy can guarantee it’ll make you a better artist, but if it worked for me, it’ll work for you too.
As all the other reviews say, beware of fakes! This one is the real deal though and I feel confident in my review! This pen won’t change your life, it’s just a pen. It’s an amazing pen though, and worth every penny!

The nib is fine which means it draws slimmer lines on the paper, three of us have tested this pen, each with a different pressure and it suits all of us.
Just make sure you take the little yellow belt off the middle of the pen (it stops the cartridge loading properly.
Otherwise love this pen
