Thanks for the detailed comparison! 👍 12:50 I expected the EF to be more scratchy and less smooth than the F but that wasn't the case. Now I have multiple Safari EFs and the precision is perfect for bullet journaling.
As for waiting before fliping the page when writing problem you mention, there is also an alternative solution. In the past every school notebook contained a sheet of extra absorbent paper you could use to protect the oposite site from the ink. Nowdays the notebooks don't contain it, but you can still buy this paper separately. It's a good think to have when using fountain pen.
Thanks for show us the difference of extra fine and fine nib of Lamy safari. Me I have the medium nib. I think that I go to buy an other, perhaps the fine one. It's a very good fountain pen.
Thank you for this video, now I know Lamy EF is not for me. I would not consider that as extra fine at all. Really happy with my pilot Kakuno EF, it just excels with the Iroshizuku inks for my really fine style of writing . Though now I am really encouraged to try noodles’s waterproof links with it.
In my experience, I've found hardly any difference in the results between Lamy nib sizes. For nearly all of the brands that I've used, I find more distinct differences between nib sizes.
@@amorylazlo9579 Well what do you think? I didn't mean inside out or writing with the butt-end. And its comfortable enough for me since i mostly use it for drawing not writing walls of text.
I have used noodlers in my Lamy Safari on watercolor paper and it did not bleed or feather when painting watercolor over the ink, I do not know if all noodler inks are waterproof. I will say that although Noodlers is called waterproof and bulletproof ...it is not on all papers...therefore I will switch to Platinum Blac Carbon since I hear lot of good things about it being waterproof. It is very popular.
Oh yes I have seen people do that, but I am scared it might ruin the nib or something :) I now am totally addicted to my Platinum Carbon Ink fountain pen in super fine, I don't think I can get a finer line than that. It really is amazing for drawing [not so much for long pieces of writing, titles etc is ok].
The imprinting from flipping on the previous page when flipping the page, isn’t it an effect of the quality of the ink, rather than the nib size used to apply the ink?
Thanks so much for this ❤ was having a hard time debating on whether to settle for the F nib or shell out extra for the EF! I write small but a but heavy so this video convinced me to get an EF. 😊 P.S. Your hand and nails are gorgeous and hope you finally got to try the Noodler's on your LAMYs!
auto-focus = off... sigh! Also - it depends greatly on the paper you use... there are papers that are more absorbent and they work better with the ink from fountain pens.
Some inks are more juicy, sometimes it is the paper, maybe the tines from the nib are wider apart and thereof you have more ink flow. Usually Lamy is very consistent - maybe you‘ll want someone to have a look at that nib or buy a replacement. They are interchangeable for safari, nexx, allstar etc, sizes and colours, steel or black.

I like your attitude
Right.
Doing God's work 🙏🏽
THANK YOU!!!!
@Jaime Imran Definitely, I have been using Flixzone for years myself :D
Thanks for the detailed comparison! 👍

I use the noodlers ink in my lammy and it works and writes really well. You don't need to worry about it clogging up.
Pilot Metropolitan fine nib will give you a finer line because it is a Japanese nib. Japanese nibs run finer than German nibs like Lamy.
Faber makes excellent extra fine nibs, so does Kaweco, but Kaweco is not consistent
I Love noodler black, it is super permanent and dries very quickly on cellulose based paper. Thanks for the video, I love your illustration.

I have the Lamy Nexx EF and it might as well be a medium. Had similar experience with Studio. I’ll won’t purchase any more Lamys
I choose the EF (white 😊) thanks to this comparison because I need it for drawing and sketching and it’s perfect, thank you!
You can use the safari upside down for a very fine line.
Blastsniper i have a medium nib and that writes really fine aswell when i write with the pen upside down if you know what i mean

I'm waiting tor the Lamy matt black extra fine to be delivered so thanks for the video!

Just use platinum carbon black ink, or other waterproof inks! Urban Sketches love it!
Yes Platinum Carbon Ink currently is my favourite ink and fountain pen for illustrating :)
Thanks for the thorough review! I just ordered the extra fine one :)
All you need is a blotter ... that is what we always used with fountain pens.
Kakuno ef is great for drawing may also try platinum preppy ef
Thanks for sharing, can't wait to pick up an EF nib to replace my F and M.
Matte black is not limited edition, I have the exact same one. The Petrol is the 2017 limited edition color
Thanks for letting me know! :)
I have it😁
I am looking at also changing the nib too. Î have been drawing with the back of the fine nib! Try it.. It's a trick! ;)

Is the extra fine the flex version nib? Cause i seems dont find a cheap flex fountain pen on this brand

I love your drawings.
Stick a page of cheapo copier paper in the book before turning the page.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Can we use it with rapido ink?
auto-focus = off... sigh! Also - it depends greatly on the paper you use... there are papers that are more absorbent and they work better with the ink from fountain pens.
I simply use both....😃
Where i can buy the extra fine nib?
Amazon, or buy a lamy ex ef they are with discount right now
Thanks for making this!
It sounded like the EF was scratchier
What beautiful nails, call more attention than pens
Use Krishna forever series ink waterproof ink Blueblack
Спасибо за видео. Но, вообще странно, что у Вас EF перо пишет мягче F. Обычно чем шире - тем мягче... Может там заусенец какой-то, типа брак?
thank you
My lamy Safari EF writes thicker than my other Safari in M which writes thin. Any idea why?
I heard they have bad quality control regarding nibs... So it's kind of a luck box
Some inks are more juicy, sometimes it is the paper, maybe the tines from the nib are wider apart and thereof you have more ink flow.

you have incredibly beautiful hands.
that is so incredibly weird
