LAMY nib steel for fountain pen Z50

Deze review gaat over de stub 1.1 Z50 penpunt. Hij schrijft heel prettig en geeft een mooie lijn variatie. Ik gebruik hem dagelijks. Fijn dat Fontoplumo deze los verkoopt, zodat je gemakkelijk van penpunt kunt wisselen, indien gewenst. De service is heel erg goed. Bij de aankoop van twee Lamy Safari vulpennen kreeg ik een handgeschreven kaartje van Frank. Erg leuk! Ik ga hier zeker vaker kopen.

It's a perfect upgrade for my old Lamy Safari with EF nib! I have excellent experience with Fontoplumo. It is my place to go whenever I want to find fountain-pen-related items. They have everything! :-)

It's a beautiful upgrade for my old Lamy Safari pen with F nib! I realized I like broader, M-size nibs, and with this nib, I upgraded the pen without buying a new one. Fontoplumo is my place to go whenever I want to find fountain-pen-related items. They have everything! :-)

I think the black nibs look smarter, especially on pens with a black section, and F is my preference. So this black F nib was perfect for me :)

This is a review of the Silver LH (Left Handed) Z50 nib.

While I am not left-handed, I decided to try the LH nib as I tend to write with a slanted grip so I was interested in giving it a try, particularly since this nib is not expensive. This interest was also motivated by the great success I had when switching to an OB from a B in a Montblanc pen with which I'd been having some issues (luckily still under the testing period).

That being said, I use nibs ranging from EF all the way to stubs/Italics up to 1.9 in the Lamy Z50 series, 2.3 in the Kaweco Calligraphy, and the 6.0 of the Parallel Pilot, and this means I seem to easily adjust my handwriting to a good range of nib styles and orientations.

I compared the LH against a regular M, both in Al-Star pens using the same ink and on various papers. The resulting writing is essentially identical even when I look at it with a loupe and that is reassuring as it means the LH is indeed an M width nib.

For my regular grip angle, the LH writes a bit smoother than the standard M, except on the lower quality papers, where the LH gives a bit more of feedback. Interestingly enough, that bit of added feedback slows down my writing just enough to give me a more controlled and neater writing.

Overall, I am very pleased with the results and will keep the LH options in mind for the future.
