So happy to find this Lamy pen for left handers! It writes beautifully, never dragging or catching on paper fibers. I also like that I can get cartridge refills in an assortment of colors.
I didn’t like this pen as well as I do the Lamy Safari left-hand nib. It
seems larger than a medium. The ink flows really well, but the largeness of the
nib makes writing difficult for me. I use a Hobonichi AVEC planner and I want
to write smaller in it. This pen does ok, but I like fine and extra-fine nibs
which apparently don't come in a left-hand nib (on a budget anyway..) I am a
bargain shopper and this pen was on sale. I do not regret buying it, I just
wont be able to use it in my Hobonichi. But I have lots and lots of paper to
try it on!!
Perfect balance , the size of the barrel is just right, not too small and not
too big. The nib glides smoothly on the paper. And this being a left handed
fountain pen I am beyond grateful that I found this pen.
I am a left-handed sidewriter. The triangular barrel does NOT orient the nib
correctly for me. Fellow lefties beware! Triangular barrels may not be a good fit for you.
The LAMY Vista was otherwise serviceable and had no issues with ink flow. I see
why AL-STAR/Safari have a cult following, but unfortunately *I* have to write
them off on account of the triangular barrel.
The fountain pen I’ve been hoping for!! I’ve got through so many much more
expensive fountain pens as a left handed person - with limited success in the
past. I had given up and just used a pentel brush pen for the past 15 years. Just a warning this is a medium nib, so no fine line work ( sketching for me),
but the flow is extremely even, and the line weight does vary a bit for a
stainless steel nib. The clear acrylic body is just the perfect touch in this my new favorite pen.
