Great pen

Love the all black. Writes very well. Kinda wish I bought an accompanying rollerball version. Subjectively one of the best new pens from Lamy.

Gorgeous pen with minor issues.

I can see why the Studio line remains popular. The design is perfectly symmetrical and perfectly balanced. The body is thicker than a typical ballpoint, which increases comfort IMO — but not so thick that it calls attention to itself. The cap clicks on the back when posting, so it doesn't rely on cap-lip friction that would mar the finish. I love that this section is matte black and not shiny — it improves the grip while writing. The blacked-out nib is gorgeous and a nice perk on this model. Issues with this pen are:

The cap has a "barely-there" click to close. It's concerning me. The cap may not always stay on securely. Since other Studios have shiny sections, maybe Lamy did not factor in the thickness of the powder coating in this model where the lip grips the indentation to close.
The nib is attractive, and smooth. But my Lamy EF nib is not writing an EF line, even by generous German standards. It's writing like a wet, wet Western medium, or a Japanese Broad. Even using a dry ink, the paper is saturated and bleeding through. If you write for fun on expensiver paper with shading inks, you'll enjoy it. But I thought this was a "daily working" pen, and there's no way it works in an office setting with this ink flow. Seems like the standard feed is tuned for a stub, and not tuned for the EF nib I ordered.
I replaced the Lamy EF nib with a cheap Wing Sung EF nib, and now it writes correctly, though still rather wet thanks to the feed — and the cheap replacement nib is actually bouncier and smoother than the Lamy nib. Pity it's silvery steel though.

If I was also rating the overall experience, this would be a 3-star purchase. Drop messed up the ordering process, and denied us the promised option to buy a converter (which annoyingly is an extra charge on a premium pen). The pens shipped late. FedEx misrouted the package, which arrived late. FedEx's tracking notifications stopped arriving. By the time it finally arrived, I didn't really care if it ever did. I'd rather have bought at retail and had the option to return/exchange it, track it correctly, and feel a bit less helpless during the process. edit: I keep fondling it, so I think that's a good sign. Also, thanks to an astute suggestion from someone else here, I used teflon tape to help the pen close better by backing off the barrel body on the section, which allows more space for the cap to grip.

I really like the all black look. The broad nib is smooth without any need for tuning.

An excellent pen

I've had this Lamy Studio in ExFine for 6 months or so and I still use it all the time. I just love it. It writes beautifully and suits my preferences for line and feedback perfectly. In fact, I prefer it to my Lamy 2000 because the 2000 is a Fine and just a bit too bold for my tastes. This Studio an excellent pen, and I'm very happy that I grabbed one.

What I did as a temporary fix was unscrew the two sections of the body and then just make them snug tight. That made the pen a hair longer. Since the cap attaches at the ring just above the nib, the additional fraction of a millimeter provides for a bit more distance for the cap to snap on. On another note, this pen is a dream to write with. I really like it!

You sir, are a genius! That works for me. I will try some teflon tape on the barrel threads to maintain the snug but not tightly screwed-down condition. Thank you! Love the pen body otherwise. Still annoyed with Lamy for being unable to provide EF nibs. But these nibs do seem of a higher quality than their Safari line.
