Lamy 2000: The Ultimate Showdown – Makrolon vs Stainless Steel

Follow along for a comparison of the Lamy 2000 Makrolon vs the Lamy 2000 Stainless Steel.

The Lamy 2000 is a timeless standard for a fountain pen collection and is a true workhorse gold nib pen that is a true pleasure to write with. The Stainless Steel version adds onto that Lamy fame and offers a different look, but maintains the classic Lamy writing experience.

Lamy 2000 are available from many retailers. Some of my favorites are @TheGentlemanStationer @VannessPenShop @EndlessPens and @atlasstationers1939
