LamyZ28 Converter for fountain pen models Abc, AL-star, joy, Lx, nexx, nexx M, safari, vista

My Safari is one of my favorite pens despite being on the cheaper side. I don't mind changing cartridges but it was a glaring difference from my more expensive fountain pens. This solved it at a reasonable price and hasn't failed yet.IDK if it's a testament to the Lamy Safari and its value or this converter specifically, but I have less issues with ink drying up and/or just not flowing when I'm trying to use the pen after a week.I'm liking my Safari with this converter more than a couple of my Waterman's right now for the hassle-free use it's giving me. It's a worthwhile upgrade if you use your Safari often and want to switch to bottled ink for sure.

I purchased this and waited and waited for it to come. Then USPS indicated it was delivered but was not in the mail box. It showed up the next day but seller started the refund. I hope they can cancel it.No issues with the converter. No leaks. Does the job.The 5 stars is for the seller. Terrific customer service. I recommend the converter and seller.

works very well

Upon arrival, I promptly replaced the cartridge with this item. Ink flow is excellent. Packaging was adequate and delivery was timely. I highly recommend it.

Compared to the other converters I have, this has by far the best ink capacity I've ever used. It feels like it lasts twice as long as a Pilot CON-40, and it almost always gets a full fill. It's very easy to take apart to clean as well, probably the best I've ever seen in that regard.Now as for the cons. Mine arrived with a semi-stiff piston, not unusable by any means but a bit annoying. It became much easier after adding a bit of silicone grease, though, so it's fixable. Also, its the only converter I've had so far where water and ink have gotten stuck behind the piston. Although, again, this isn't a huge issue because it's so easy to disassemble and clean.Overall, it's probably my favorite converter that I've used so far. It works great and all problems I have with it are countered by how easy it is to disassemble it and fix them. Good job, Lamy.

Well designed and made. Works as intended.

These converters for Lamy fountain pens (convert from using ink cartridges to bottled fountain pen ink) are pretty easy to find but not at this price!Converter fits perfectly in my Lamy Safari so I can use many different colors and not just what comes in the Lamy cartridges.

I had been buying refill cartridges for my Lamy until after throwing the fourth one into the garbage, and thought- there has to be a better way. I did a search on Amazon, and found this handy-dandy little gizmo. It's easy to use- you just turn the orange part of the top like a screw, and it pulls ink into the plastic cylindrical chamber. When the screw can't go any farther, it's full.If you don't use your pen every day, I would empty the ink, and rinse this out, as well as the nib. I forget about my pen and leave it sitting for days quite often. (In fact- writing this reminded me to check on it, and it was dried out and needed cleaning.). This is super-easy- just turn the orange thing to expel the ink, then draw water up into the clear cylinder, and repeat. Set it on a paper towel to dry while you rinse your nib.I ordered the black Lamy German ink to go with it. The inkwell has a nice, wide top and works great with the converter. The ink is nice and rich black. Both items are highly recommended!
