If the writing feeling is the same as other Z series gold pens, the main difference is the difference in appearance and grip. In fact, I personally despise the Lamy Empire at this price. There are many choices for the price around 2000, such as Parker's flagship century chief, Xiao Zhi Zun of Vidivin, the classic series of Count Fabregas, and 845 of Bai Le, all of which are better than Lamy Empire.
Lamy Empire, like other Lamies, is a big-spending type. If you write Chinese, it must be on the ef tip. The whole Lamy empire belongs to the hard and slippery type, but it is more elastic than the steel tip. From the sense of writing, the empire is actually not as good as Lamy2000. The metal body of the pen is relatively heavy, which is not suitable for writing a lot and will make you very tired. Lamy's gold tips are all 14K, so compared with other competing products with the same price, they are generally 18K, and the nib is harder and the workmanship of the nib is poor. Lamy's gold tip quality control is good, and the probability of problems with ef gold tip is much smaller than that with steel tip. If you buy a steel tip Lamy, the probability of scratching the ef tip is not low, and the F tip is much better, but the F tip is a bit thick and not suitable for writing Chinese characters.
It is also the classic series of Count Fabregas, and the German pen with the price of 2000 yuan is the first choice. Montblanc can't get a good price, and Bellevue m600 quality control is really not good. Count Fabregas is not only exquisite and beautiful in appearance, but also crushed by other German brands in quality control, and his writing feel is also very good, that is, the classic series of pens are relatively thin, and the exquisite pen cap is a fingerprint collector.
