Product Description
Created by LAMY pen designer Wolfgang Fabian, the Logo Fountain Pen is defined by its incredibly slim profile and solid construction made from stainless steel. It comes equipped with a cartridge filling system for LAMY T 10 blue ink which can be modified for bottled ink use by using the Z26 converter Read More
Honestly it's a tough call, it might be worth trying the Logo because it is slimmer than most fountain pens. I don't think you'll be disappointed and then you will know if you like the shape. FYI I found the Pilot Metro pens to be scratchy, I haven't tried filing down the nib yet as others have suggested.
SelectedI prefer the Safari, but that's my opinion. The Safari was initially intended as a beginner pen, but it skyrocketed in popularity, and became iconic in the fountain pen world. Even though the Logo will do a good job of writing, it neither feels nor looks like a Safari or the very similar Al-Star. The triangular grip on the Safari is intended for user comfort, and despite what others may have said, I prefer it for a newbie. And since it was brought up,m the Metropolitan is another great pen for very little money. And if cash outlay is a major concern, the Platinum Preppie goes for a mere $3.95, and truth to tell, is an excellent pen.
If I get this as my first fountain pen, will I want/need the Z26 converter? How about the extra ink, how long can I expect the ink it comes with to last?
whoadaveI would highly recomend buying a converter and using bottled ink. Bottled ink is much more economical and there is a VERY large array of colors available from many companies. I would recommend either Noodler's brand or Diamine inks, they are available in large quantities and many colors as well as being relatively inexpensive, about $13 for a 80 or 90ml bottle. For retailers, I would recomend gouletpens.com, they are amazng people, but their shipping is a bit expensive, so you should order multiple bottles of ink. However, you can just buy ink on Amazon (I just like helping out small businesses). As for the ink that comes with it, a typical cartridge can last anywhere from about a week to a month, depending on how much you write, but it will not last nearly as long as a ballpoint type pen.
Hope you enjoy your pen!
Samdaman89Goulet Pens is also awesome for the ink samples. I've picked batches of samples of different colors to try and I like taking that route before jumping on a bottle.
We seem to have a small number of individuals who are using this site to complain about the LOGO. Remember: Massdrop had all sorts of photos, so that you could see what you were getting, so there should be little cause for complaint there. If it doesn't look or feel like a Pelikan M800, well, that's the way it goes. Mine has a Lamy F nib, and a Lamy made feed, so it will write like a Lamy. Pop the Lamy cartridge in, and you're good to go. It's much thinner than a Safari, which I prefer, but it's certainly not a bad pen. If you don't like the looks, don't buy it, but you knew what it looked like in advance, so quit bitching. Massdrop was totally open and honest, and nobody held a gun to your head.
You seem to be limited to vulgarisms and to an immature rash of complaining about just everything. If you're unhappy with Massdrop, you can always drop it, and find some other place to go and complain incessantly, as is your wont, instead of using up more bandwidth on this site than everyone combined.
ravkesefYou posted a comment specifically to judge people for sharing information on a sales site about an object that is being sold. This is not an unusual activity in e-commerce, in fact, Amazon built its strength from it. Where I am from we call people who overreact to normal behavior being a jerk. If you find it vulgar, I don't care. I suggest ignoring my comments in the future. I don't see how complaining about what I or anyone else says helps.
Hey guys, I didn't buy this pen from MD, but I do own it and have been using it almost daily for over a year now.
It's a *very* light pen, so much so that it really feels cheap. The metal is so thin, the build quality actually suffers from it. The outside edge is very easy to bang up- if you drop it and it hits something, like the corner of a step, it will almost certainly dent- it is literally like tin can level thin. Another note on the build quality- the clip actually causes a really tiny scratch where it bumps against the pen; this didn't bother me but my friend said it'd drive him crazy.
The glossy part where you post the cap is actually not metal, but a metallic-plated plastic. So, it's like a 'metallic dip' that really scratches up easily and once it gets a deep enough nick, posting the pen will start tearing that dip off. This has happened to me.
I use both a Fine and EF nib on it, and both are relatively scratchy- so are my friends' Lamys.
Over all, for $27, it's not a bad pen- but I bought it at MSRP and at $45-$50 it is an utter waste. It is a very thin pen over all and very tall / back heavy when posted, but too short unposted. To me, it still feels okay in the hand, but this is mostly just me trying to justify the purchase. Over all, I'd recommend to steer clear, buy a different pen. But, as I said, alternatively if you're into it for the collecting of fountain pens, $27 isn't a bad deal.
edit: a few plus points though are: the clip is nice; pen has a pleasant sheen to it when its posted in your hand under bright lighting, it glosses over vertically as you write, looks pretty cool. I can post pictures if anyone wants to see them but otherwise not going to spend the time
For your convenience, I have included a few links to other pens that also stand up to daily (yearly, in my case) use:
- https://goo.gl/KdVeqC - I have one of these from 1999
- https://goo.gl/dqBOhh- https://goo.gl/33cDgp
Now, some of these may be a bit expensive, but they're still better value than the LAMY Logo.
Hey guys I have a bunch of z24 converters lying around, do you think I can be safe without adding the z26? I know technically its not suppose to fit but how different can two proprietary converters be?
AirconaaronThe Z24 is flat on the junction section, while the Z26 has the same terminal section as a Lamy cartridge. As you might imagine, every pen that accept a Z24 (Safari, Al-Star, and lower end pens) can accept a Z26. Unfortunately this isn't the case for the other way around. A Logo (and every other Lamy pen except the ones I mentioned before), simply won't fit a Z24. That said, I usually place a Z26 even inside the Safari. It's simply more stilish. I would never use the Z24 on a clear Vista, for instance.
Just wondering this drop comes ready with a converter or do I need to buy one myself later? Sorry for this silly question. Just want to clear some doubts before joining
