So I have:

- Parker 51 Aeromatic

- Lamy 2000

- Lamy Studio

- Esterbrook J

- Esterbrook SJ

I used to have:

- Pilot Decimo

The P51 Aeromatic is my absolute favorite pen design. I don't write much any more, but when I do, that is the one I reach for. I like my Lamy 2000, too, but the hood design is the older one. It is prone to ink seeping through the seams and staining fingers. A design defect that they have since corrected.

What got you into fountain pens? I did it by accident. Bought a cheap disposable pilot one day by mistake. I used it and realized that ballpoints felt terrible in the hand. I'd just never realized because I didn't have anything to compare them to.
