I love how it shows its color reflected with the neon light (and natural light also) embossed with the rough textures and powerful metallic line with the classic Lamy logo in the end of the pen. The nib is curtainly standard quality using with ordinary day-to-day writting and outdoor sketching with this pen makes your be like an executive who has a hobby as sketcher :D Total quality garunteed by Lamy reputation itself so nothing to worry about. Bottom Line: Great pen with no Con.
