I bought the Lamy 2000 with a fine nib few months ago. The nib is a hidden masterpiece with an old German style grind, which is very pleasant for the eye. It performs great, never skips. The only downside is that it is a very wet writer and more on the medium line width. It can be an issue causing bleedthrough on cheap copy paper, otherwise it writes smoothly. The body of the pen is a warm to the touch makrolon and it is quite robust (I have already dropped it on a sidewalk by accident and it left only a small scratch).
I love just about everything about this pen and I feel it will be my long time companion.
Also, I would like to thank Appelboom for an excellent customer service, great packaging and overall great buying experience.
Amazing Pen!! At Appelboom it is available at the best price. I don't think anywhere else you will get it at this price.
The product deliver also very good. I received the pen in 3 days after it was shipped.

This is a great pen. I now have 3 - one stainless steel, one medium nib, and now a fine nib. It might be the only fountain pen you'll ever need, and if you only ever buy one fountain pen, this is probably the one to get. The pen arrived from Appelboom amazingly quickly, within a few days of the order. I couldn't be happier.
I tried my 2000, and I decided to buy one for my collection. Now when is my possession it become my daily writer. Since 1997 I use my Pelicans in daily basis but this Lamy 2000 with EF nib is absolutely amazing. The second reason I’m in love with that pen is that it was produced in the same year as me, 1966!
Wonderful pen. Also very competitively priced by Appelboom. The build quality is excellent. Also dealing with Appelboom was a pleasure. From the time the order was placed till i received the pen communication from Appelboom was prompt. They responded to all my queries patiently. Definitely recommend Appelboom.
This understated classically designed pen has an exquisite functionality. At first glance it looks like a simple fountain pen. But… the section and the piston grip are seamlessly joined to the barrel. The tapered section’s seamless join to the barrel allows for a long section where people with different sized hands can grip the pen, the brushed surface allows the pen to be held without slipping. It also holds a lot of ink. More, the pen is beautifully light weighted so that it can be used posted or unposed without back weighting the pen. Yet, the best thing for me is the 14k (m) nib which writes very wet and oh so smooth (like no other pen). I bought this pen as a gift for someone else; I was so impressed I am going to buy one for me.
It is a cult pen best in this price range. Finishing and nib is awesome. If you can must add this into your collection. Just remember that this pen take only bottled ink
After much research I decided to buy the M nib option of this pen. My writing is on the smaller side, but I have a tendency to rotate my pens after a few sentences. Therefore, I thought that a M nib would help me stay in the good graces of the lamy 2000 "sweet spot" people talk about. Honestly, this pen is very forgiving and not once have I rotated the pen while writing to the extent where there are issues with the writing.
The weight of the pen is marvelous, fits perfectly in a pants pocket. I am a student, and the high ink capacity has been very appreciated. Looking to purchase another one with EF nib very soon!
