I have several fountain pens, ranging from $3 (Platinum preppy) to $300. This pen writes amazingly well considering its price range, especially when paired up with a bottle of nice ink and a converter. Besides, I simply love demonstrator pens and Lamy has great designs. It is a wet writer, BTW, so the fine nib writes like a medium nib for those who are used to Asian brands. It is also more prone to nib creep (ink creeping onto the face of the nib) in my experience. It also has changeable nibs (sold on JetPens as well), which is very cool.

It is nice, but a bit too short for my ticonderoga pencils.

I have both fine and broad nibs for this version, saying how much I love this pen. I purchased the broad nib Decimo from Japan since I wasn't aware of JetPens and thought that Decimo was not sold in the US. Then, I purchased a fine nib (nib only) from a fountain pen dealer in the US. Decimo, Fermo, and VP share the same type of nib so one can swap one nib to another pen's barrel easily or have multiple nibs for one barrel. Decimo is the feather weight among all three, so I carry it around with me all the time. Fermo can stay on my desk. It would be fun if JetPens starts selling the nibs and barrels separately.
