LAMY Z 50 Nib Set for joy 1.5 Pen

After using the Lamy 1.1mm stub on my Al-Star for a while, I wanted to try a wider one. The 1.1 gives a slight bit of line variation, but normal cursive writing can be difficult to destinguish from a normal nib. This 1.5mm hits the sweet spot I was looking for perfectly. It's far less subtle, my cursive looks written with a stub. It also makes writing more Gothic style fonts easier. It's still small enough that daily journal entries can be written at a reasonable size and stay quite legible. On top of that, this nib retains a nice, smooth feel on paper. Lamy hasn't made it a knife-blade style nib. You can write as quick and carefree as with any other nib. Side benefit: Shading inks look so nice coming out of this nib! Photo attached to show how awesome it is.

This is a brand name Lamy 1.5mm stub nib. It performed flawlessly when swapped into a Lamy Safari Vista using Noodler's Walnut ink in a Lamy converter. I am using it for calligraphy writing, and I am impressed by its smoothness despite creating crisp lines. It was a less expensive way to turn my Safari into a Safari/Joy hybrid. I'd you're looking into trying calligraphy, this is a less expensive way to start with Lamy brand reliability instead of Chinese knock-offs that are rarely reliable.

Incredibly smooth to write with and very forgiving unlike some other wide nibs which take some working-in to perform the way you want.

This 1.5mm stub nib is great on my Lamy pens. Use it with Rohrer and Klinger said, and get great shading and line variation that looks nicer than the 1.1mm nib. If you've never tried a stub nib, this is a great one to try!

Love the wide/thin contrast on this stub!

I have the 1.5 nib as well as the 1.1 and 1.9 versions. The 1.1 is excellent for everyday writing with just a bit of a fancy flair, and the 1.9 offers very, very nice line variation that makes one's writing look truly beautiful, but is maybe a bit too wide for regular note-taking. This 1.5 is a very good compromise: not too think and is suitable for everyday use, and good line variation. If I had to pick only one of the three Lamy stubs, I'd go with the 1.5.

Lamy may be considered an entry level product, but they are QUALITY all the way. My favorite nib of all, with great line variation.

In my photo you can only just barely see the engraving on the nib. 1.1mm stub. Simple packing error, but important nonetheless. I will be keeping it, even though it is wrong, because I am still a fan of the 1.1mm nib, and it was cheaper here than on gouletpens.com (amazing site by the way).

Lamy nibs are one of the easiest to change but the price is off-putting. Seems crazy that a nib is almost as expensive as a whole pen, but this one came up at a decent price. It allowed me to use preferred stub on the most frequently used Al-star and move up a thickness on my other Lamys, retiring the Extra Fine I didn't like.

Qualità straordinaria. Adoro il tratto di questo pennino. Ha riacceso la mia voglia di scrivere.

レタリング用にペン先を取り替えました 綺麗に発色して滲みもなく気に入ってます LAMYはペン先交換が簡単なので助かります

I own a couple of fountain pens. Being left handed, the best nibs are on the thickest side of the spectrum. This is very confortable to write.

Nib was great but packaging it came in raised quite concern. It was basic white small box with out any label of Lamy....
