My Lamy 2000 is one of my favorite pens. The Lamy 2000 was designed over 50 years ago, but it still has a very contemporary, almost space-age look. Mine works very well and is a very comfortable pen to use. The Lamy Wikipedia entry [1] has a picture of the Lamy 2000 fountain pen for those that don't know what I'm talking about. In general though, the three major Japanese pen companies make great pens of high quality and aesthetics and reasonable prices for someone that wants to start collecting pens. These companies are Sailor, Platinum, and Pilot/Namiki. I have perhaps a dozen of these and I like all of them. If you ever get to go to Tokyo, visit one of the large stationary/writing supplies stores. I'm sorry, I can't remember the name of the one I went to but it was perhaps six or seven floors of paper, inks, pens, etc. It was in one of the major shopping districts and easy to get to. It was great! Even if you are going to buy just one pen, check out the entertaining world of YouTube pen reviews. One of my favorite YouTube pen bloggers is sbrebrown, see [2].
