Very impressed by the LAMY 2000 pencil I next bought the matching fountain pen, also excellent, and decided to complete the set with the multi pen. Like the others, it is exquisitely made. The engineering is so precise that you can't even see or feel the join in the barrel until you learn where it is.The selected refill is held very precisely so there is no detectable movement - just perfect. Like the pencil and fountain pen, it fits very comfortably in the hand and feels so 'right' A pleasure to hold and use, it is not a toy or gimmicky, it is a precise and very practical instrument.Although the standard LAMY refills are pretty good, you can of course change them for any 'D1' alternatives.I now use an ultra fine Hi-tec gel black which allows very precise detailing and extremely small writing if you need it. A very worthwhile change for me and more pleasant than a standard ball point. I have also changed the blue to a Tombow BR-VMP. It is a pressurised 'space pen' refill which allows upside down use and the ability to write on wet or greasy paper. The Tombow writes no better than the standard refill but its nice to know you can do extreme things with it if you need to. Finally I have changed the green, which I never use, to a LAMY marker refill. This is florescent orange and acts reasonably well as a highlighter; far more useful to me than green. There are of course plenty of other alternatives if you want to experiment. I have heard that the Schmidt D1 refills are a bit special but I have not tried them.One word of warning!! When I first started changing refills I got in a bit of a mess because I was holding the pen horizontally. If you do that it allows the floating ball to move whilst changing and it jams the mechanism. You need to hold the pen vertically with the refills pointing upwards! To cure the jam, just unscrew the clip retainer and pull the button up. The clip may well fall out, as it is only held in place when the end is screwed on, so don't lose it!With that one warning, I have no hesitation in giving it 5 stars. It is difficult to see how it could be improved.

I do not own a moleskine notebook, I think they are too expensive. This pen is expensive for one pen, it is even pretty expensive for four pens. Is it worth it?If you attend meetings where you take notes, but don't have much time to sort these out later, then this pen probably is worth it. There are small tasteful colour inserts at the top. You rotate the pen until your chosen colour is uppermost, and when the refill comes out, it has a little band at the nib denoting its colour.So, you are writing notes in black, you want to highlight an action, you click the pen, rotate slightly, click again, and you are writing in red pen. Click, rotate,click and you are back to black.Of course you could just have more pens in your pocket!The pen looks tasteful and understated, but nothing remarkable. In the hand, it feels reassuringly solid and expensive.The price is expensive, but this is a quality piece of equipment, and if it is the sort of thing that you would use, then it could well be well worth it for you.However, don't take my word for it, track down one in one of those expensive pen shops and try for yourself. On the other hand if you already have lots of moleskine notebooks, an iPhone, and a copy of the latest Malcolm Gladwell in your pocket, then you will probably just want to rush out and buy one!EDIT - after more than a year, this pen is still in one piece, and I'm distinctly heavy handed with such things. The refill inks are easy enough to obtain. It is also pleasantly understated in appearance, hence far less likely to get half-inched.It has changed the way I take notes!

The Lamy 2000 Multipen is my pen of choice for using colour on purpose. Those familiar with mind mapping or even "Six Thinking Hats" as thinking disciplines, will realise just how powerful it is to use colour deliberately. For me, red is my colour for action and for purpose. It can be used to capture the output from the question, "Why are we having this meeting?" At the end of the meeting, I'll use red to capture agreed actions and timescales. Black is my choice for my inner analyst (the Vulcan within us all)... I use this colour to capture the data for a meeting or a project - with no emotional contamination. Green is my colour for balance, for ecology, and for consequences...so I would use the green ink to capture ideas on what the consequences of a plan might be. Blue is my colour for blue-sky thinking - my options, my alternatives, my possibilities. Whilst these colours don't quite match Edward de Bono's choices for "Six Thinking Hats", I find the discipline of using only four colours in one pen a great way to guarantee that I take a psychologically and cognitively balanced approach to all my thinking projects. It's all too easy to just be creative, or just be sensible. Using this excellently engineered pen to direct your thinking will really save you time... and potentially money! Given that fact, I think it's well worth the investment. If you want to explore thinking on purpose, I recommend de Bono.

Lovely pen, good weight and nice chunky smooth feel to the African blackwood barrel. If you're after a timeless classic for sensible money this is a good choice. Various finishes are available to suit your taste.Lamy have a problem with their ballpoint ink cartridges though. I've tried several (& they're not cheap) and the performance drops off rapidly within a few days of use. The ink goes faint and the flow of ink is erratic almost to the point where you'd think the ink has expired. You can continue to write but have to do so very slowly to get ink on paper. It's scratchy and goes light, dark, light, dark as you continue to write - wholly unacceptable.This pen is very nice to hold and write with,but you MUST buy aftermarket MONTEVERDE (USA) ink refills to write properly, and they have a darker ink too, plus they are cheaper. I have two LAMY ballpoints and now only use the Monteverde after market ink cartridge and as a result enjoy the pens that initially disapointed in their writing performance

Yes, +£30 seems like a lot for a 4-colour pen that you could otherwise pick up from a local shop for a fiver, but it is definitely worth it. It looks fantastic (the brushed finish works very well - the split where the pen opens up for refills is almost seamless) and the colour changing mechanism is subtle and effective. Every other multi-colour pen on the market looks like a tacky children's toy in comparison.Don't pay too much attention to the reviewer who flawed this pen on the grounds that it lacks a gift box and that it's confusing to work without a manual. It comes in a minimalistic cardboard box (I personally like this touch) which you could easily construct your own presentation gift box around,and as for working out how to use it - use your head or just google it, it's really not that hard.

It it wasn't so pricey then it would have had all five stars. The pen is lovely to use. It feels good (and is made well), it writes well, and changing colours makes you feel like a Jedi. There were no instructions and so figuring that part out was interesting. The colours change as if by magic. In fact you just hold the pen horizontally and rotate the entire pen until the colour that you want is facing up, then press the button in. You can feel the mechanism click over inside as you turn the pen if you pay close attention. You would think such a thing would be a gimmick that doesn't work well but it is a very professional writing instrument that is well crafted. Feels solid and expensive yet not bulky and heavy.I was expecting buyer's remorse here but none had... Enjoy.

If you can't get yours to work, read this!I took mine apart, tried twisting bits of it, and creating friction on different parts when twisting, but none of that worked - it's a wonder it isn't broken!ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS HOLD IT IN YOUR HAND AT AN ANGLE WITHOUT THE CLICKER/PLUNGER PART DEPRESSED; THEN TURN THE WHOLE PEN (NO TWISTING ETC. REQUIRED) SO THAT IT RESTS IN YOUR HAND WITH THE COLOUR YOU WANT FACING UPPERMOST (YOU WILL HEAR A BALL-BEARING DROP IN TO PLACE). THEN DEPRESS THE CLICKER/PLUNGER PART AND THE UPPERMOST FACING COLOUR WILL COME OUT. TO CHANGE COLOUR, MAKE SURE THAT THE CLICKER/PLUNGER PART IS NOT DEPRESSED, ROTATE TO A NEW COLOUR AS ABOVE, AND THEN DEPRESS THE CLICKER/PLUNGER PART.MAGIC!!! THE COLOUR YOU SELECTED CAME OUT = )

This is a beautiful 4 colour pen. It has red, green, blue and black refills. The refills are the ISO 12757 so they are small. Do not expect to get the same longevity from you blue/black refill when compared to a standard blue/black ballpoint. Personally I use this in conjunction with the Lamy 2000 fountain pen (a beautiful writer). As a result, I use this pen for annotation or for short jots. If you colour code notes at meetings, then this is a very professional looking pen to have with you. There are cheaper options (many in the Lamy range) and some include a mechanical pencil. However, I do recommend this as a good looking, professional and practical writer.

I bought a Lamy Multi Colour about 4 years ago....what a delight it is! Still!A solid writing implement, with a chunky and balanced feel in the hand.It really adds a lot of cudos when you want to look business like, and have grown out of the "Bic" Multi-Colour market!Caution: Keep you eyes open if you offer this pen to colleagues for them to use....it may go "Walkabout" !!!

Excellent multi pen, very expensive it has to be said, but by far the best one I’ve bought... the mechanism does rattle but I’m yet to see a multi pen that doesn’t. Also purchased the Sailor Imperial Black multi pen (and pencil) and I prefer this Lamy. If you’re after a multi pen this is the one to get, if you need to have a pencil function built in, maybe get the Sailor...

Yes this pen is a bit pricey, but alredy I can't work without it. Especially in meetings it's very useful to colour code notes much better and faster than I could with one or more pens. This pen also looks and feels great. Like most German products it's been engineerd to perfection. It's the Mercedes (or BMW if you prefer) of pens. Better than my Mont Blanc.

It's relatively pricey. Yet it's a classical design and possibly one of few pens that incorporate multicolours in one seamless design.Easy to find refills and writes beautifully.The mechanism to choose different colours is simple. Just face the colour of you want, upwards.Mechanism feels slightly "rough", but it soothes out over time.

This was bought for me as a present. Not only is it made from beautiful materials (the wood is African blackwood used in the production of woodwind instruments and the trim is palladium) but it just feels wonderful to hold and write with. If you want a really special present for someone I guarantee this will impress and please.

All the same class as other Lamy 2000 pens and pencils, but 4-in-1 with no increase in size - I bought the pencil at the same time, and both are the same size. This one is a bit heavier than the pencil, but still relatively light, being mostly made from a posh kind of plastic.Now I just need an excuse to write in green ink!

9.12.2013

Seems a bit light at the beginning, but as you get to actual writing.The weight distribution is just about perfect.I use different multipoint pens alot and I have various BIC's and a Cross as well, but this one takes the price.
