The Goulet Pen Company, in collaboration with LAMY, is excited to present this first-ever LAMY fountain pen produced exclusively for a US retailer.
Introducing the LAMY vista black.

Preserving the essential demonstrator elements of the original vista, this clear resin fountain pen is equipped with a black clip with PVD coating and a black steel nib.

We've also included a matching black/chrome Z27 cartridge converter for use with bottled ink, and the fountain pen also comes with one black LAMY ink cartridge to get you started writing right away.

The nib is interchangeable with the original vista as well as many other LAMY pens such as the safari and AL-star.

This special edition is a limited production run, made exclusively for and sold exclusively through Goulet Pens.

Note: To ensure quality performance, LAMY tests their pens as a final step in manufacturing. If you happen to see any residual blue ink, rest assured that this is normal.

So Easy to Swap Lamy Nibs!

Love how easy it was to swap out nibs in this Lamy Vista. I’m already a fan of Lamy’s EF nibs, and am looking forward to playing with Lamy’s Cursive nib.

Don't be too curious

Just a Lamy Vista. It can be used but not enjoyed.

Special Edition Black Vista Safari - very cool!

I didn’t know what to expect because I already own a Lamy Safari Vista. It just isn’t the Black version. Actually, when comparing the two, there’s very little difference. The only visible difference in the clip, which is fine. It allows me to have two different ink colors always ready in a Safari Vista.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill this LAMY fountain pen with ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

This fountain pen can fill with proprietary LAMY ink cartridges, or from a LAMY converter.

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses proprietary LAMY ink cartridges, which are available in a range of colors.

As for converters, LAMY does make two different converters - the red Z28, and the black Z27. All of their fountain pens (except the 2000) can accept the black Z27; typically this converter is included with the higher-end LAMY pens like the aion, cp1, scala, and studio. The red Z28 has additional knobs for a more secure installation that is compatible (and sold separately) on the AL-star, joy, and safari.

We've got a great video demonstrating both filling methods here:

How do I clean a fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It depends on the filling mechanism, but it mostly comes down to flushing it out with water, and sometimes a little bit of Pen Flush if the ink is really stuck. 

It's a bit easier to show than to tell, so we've put together a few quick videos showing you the process:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.
