Review: Great pen - for the price and otherwise. - I have been using this pend for about a month now. For the price, I don't see a better fountain pen available. The nib truly is extra fine, and I am very pleased with it. Using it with noodler's bulletproof black, and it started the ink flowing within half a centimeter of starting to write something, and ink flow is constant and smooth ever since. Not too much, and, unless you leave it out without the cap on too long, not too little. Even if you let it partially dry out, restoring ink flow is easy and quick. On cheap paper, it can accumulate paper fibers under the nib tip over the course of a few days, but these can be removed when this happens by simply wiping it off. Solution: use decent paper. Smooth writing, easy ink monitoring, feels good in the hand. Originally, I gave it 4 stars because the cap makes it a bit topheavy when you are writing, but I have been so pleased with it that I decided to give it 5 stars after all. I'm using it with the converter. Very happy with it's construction, quality and performance - for the price. It's not the classiest fountain pen I ever saw, but it's definitely also not junk either. It's more of a "get it done" functional day to day useful sort of design. I use it everyday, extensively, and have been enjoying writing by hand again immensely with it. It would make a good gift for someone in school, and for someone who would use it for daily office work or writing research notes with, as I do. Not suitable as a gift meant to impress, be high end, or give to someone you are being formal with or who is a superior at work because of the design. Overall, very nice pen. Get the converter. I like the noodler's black ink. Review: Wonderful pen--addicted already! - Read a lot of good reviews on this pen and decided to go for it. First off, there's no denying it's cool-looking. There's something both space-age and steam punk about it that really appealed to me. I didn't fool around--I ordered the Z24 converter along with it as I like refilling from bottles. And I ordered a bottle of Noodler's Bulletproof Black, too. So how does it perform? Filling the converter was a snap. Doesn't look like it holds a lot of ink, and time will tell how long I get on a 'tank full.' I wasn't sure I was going to like the grip in this at first; those two slants on top but it didn't take long for it to feel just right. I ordered the EF nib and am glad I did. Several reviewers mentioned that the F nib was like a M, and I already have plenty of those, so it was an easy choice. It writes smooth and started working without much coaxing. You don't need a heavy hand with this pen, but if you do write heavy you'll probably experience the "scratchy factor" that everyone mentions. I wrote on yellow legal pads and the flow was nice, but I have to say that writing on the paper in the Moleskine journal is dreamy--VERY smooth. I did some doodling--cartoons mostly--and I'd say that the drawing capability of this pen isn't quite there; the nib is pretty stiff so you aren't going to get a lot of variety of line. For just fooling around, basic sketching, and doodling it works fine. I know others that draw with this pen all the time. I find my self wanting to write--and write anything--just to play with this pen. I'm hooked! I would say that any of the negative reviews here are the result of user error, inexperience with fountain pens, or perhaps a random lemon. I have not had any issues in two days of using it and not even a single pin-prick size spot of ink anywhere on the pen; all the ink is in the converter right where it's supposed to be, unless summoned forth by my hand. I like this pen a lot. I have a Noodler's pen that came with the Noodler's Heart of Darkness ink that is pretty awesome, but it may lose hand time to the Vista now. ## Features - Extra Fine Point - Filo - Lamy - Ships with blue ink cartridge ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002T406O | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #71,781 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #275 in Fountain Pens | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand Name | Lamy | | Closure Type | Snap | | Color | Clear | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (643) | | Drill Point | Extra Fine | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00021274151502 | | Grip Type | Ergonomic | | Hand Orientation | Left | | Hardness | F | | Included Components | Fountain Pen | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Color | Blue | | Item Dimensions | 8.3 x 1.2 x 7.5 inches | | Item Weight | 1 Ounces | | Line Size | Extra Fine | | Manufacturer | Lamy | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Name | safari | | Model Number | L12EF | | Recommended Uses For Product | Calligraphy, Writing | | Style | Contemporary | | Theme | Transparent Modern | | UPC | 793187087208 785525643443 021274151502 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | No Warranty | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Writing Instrument Form | Fountain Pen | | Writing Technique | fountain pen | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Lamy - **Color:** Clear - **Ink Color:** Blue - **Writing Instrument Form:** Fountain Pen ## Images ![Safari Vista Fountain Pen - Demonstrator Clear, Extra-Fine Nib L12EF - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/515al19a2VL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pen - for the price and otherwise. *by S***M on March 1, 2011* I have been using this pend for about a month now.

This clear design variant of their Safari model may not have the same attraction as its black-bodied original, but it writes just the same and teaches you how to properly grip, write with a fountain pen. This purchase had the extra fine tip installed on it with a blue ink cartridge, and after enough testing, I don't think I need the regular Fine tip to know that Extra Fine works for me. I would say the proper grip on the pen body is comfortable enough to eventually disappear into your hand after enough time to where you no longer consciously think about it. Official ink cartridges by the company have only a handful of choices when it comes to color variety, but there is a reusable reservoir cartridge that works with the pen and allows you to use whatever make and color inks you would like with it. I have not gotten to that point yet, but so far, I see the writing experience as better than I could have ever imagined. With a generally low price of entry, I believe the LAMY Safari is the best first step for beginners in absence of any PILOT Varsity pens to test to see if these will suit their style, or the best second step for anyone who wants the option to have a variety of tips for their writing or drawing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Lamy Safari Vista Fountain Pen - Demonstrator Clear, Extra-Fine Nib L12EF - Lamy Z28 Converter for fountain pen models Abc, AL-star, joy, Lx, nexx, nexx M, safari, vista - Lamy Black T10 Ink Cartridges, 5/pk (LT10BKB) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1411542-safari-vista-fountain-pen-demonstrator-clear-extra-fine-nib-l12ef](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1411542-safari-vista-fountain-pen-demonstrator-clear-extra-fine-nib-l12ef) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-31*
