I have loved this pen for more than 20 years! It remains my go-to everyday
writer. The knock against the Lamy ballpoint refill is justified - they are
old-fashioned ballpoint ink, they write OK, but not as dark or smooth as the
best today. You can get a better refill from Monteverde, soft-roll, made for the
Lamy, which writes quite well. Or get a 3D printed adapter and use a top notch
D1 refill, but they don't last long. But the pen is great! Highly recommended!
