It's a great nib. I ordered F nib and it is just as I expected. Smooth and a bit flex - just great nib. The only thing I don't like - golden stripes on nib tins. I would like to have a nib of single color.
I ordered the EF nib and got a nib that produces a medium-sized line. Very frustrating. I am not sure how Lamy could allow this level of nib inconsistency for such a price point. Buyer beware.
This nib definitely is a classy upgrade to any Lamy pen. It‘s springy and gives a sliding feeling while writing. Very nice! Also thanks for Applebooms great customer service and nib customisation.
I purchased a Z55 EF gold nib to replace an F steel nib. A gold nib writes wetter than a steel nib does. Consequently an EF nib produces a line that is nearly the width of a steel F nib, which is the perfect width for me. The gold nib lays down enough ink to show the true color of whatever I am using, while the steel nib leaves a washed out line. There is a slight amount of bounce with the gold nib that makes writing with it a pleasure. I am very happy with my Z55 gold nib purchase, it is easily worth the purchase price.

The LAMY GOLD NIBS are a great discovery! They are agreeably wet, they write smoothly, they give some bounce and feedback, they even give some line variation.
Since they are separately available, I have mounted a LAMY Z55 GOLD NIB on all my LAMY PENS, they give a totally new and wonderful writing experience. They are so great that for my daily work, I use only my LAMY PENS!
