I've had this beauty for over a year now, but I don't use it as much as the Makrolon version. Fine nib on SS and EF on Makrolon, but I don't notice that much of a difference with the way I write. The problem is the cap. In the Makrolon version, the cap is held by the little metal ears with pretty much an ideal pressure. On the SS model, the cap seems to be too heavy and the grip just isn't as good. The cap on the SS pen also comes loose when I post it, which bothers me as the Lamy 2K is a shortish pen for my hands and I need it posted for the right feel. I don't have that problem with the Makrolon version.
I sent my pen to Lamy and paid for service and they switched the cap for one that has a slightly better grip than the one my pen included, but it still doesn't offer the same reliable experience that the Makrolon pen does. Of course, I did have to send the Makrolon pen to Lamy for service once after 2 years of use because the body cracked. Comparsed to that, a cap with a less than ideal fit is not much of a problem!
Regardless, the Lamy 2K is my favorite pen in my collection and though I prefer the Makrolon version, the SS one is still a beauty of a writing instrument and I don't regret buying it!
