I've had my eye on this pen for a long time (thanks Reddit, haha), and I've wanted to try iroshizuku inks too. Found both for a decent discount, so finally pulled the trigger 😁

It's very cool, I agree. I love how seamless the joins are. It actually took me a minute to figure out how to activate the piston for filling. And the hooded nib is quite unique too :)
Any ink recommendations?
I’ve really enjoyed Diamine Thunderbolt in my 2000.
I got a sample of Birmingham Pen Co. Jade Inferno recently and have fallen in love with it though. I’ll be getting a bottle of that in the near future. Their Oil Beetle is quite lovely too
Edit: There’s a really interesting Figboot video on YouTube about the design of the Lamy 2000. The number of design elements that were considered. The tight tolerances. The fact that the etching on the body and cap is still hand done. So cool
Oo thanks, I'll check out that video.
