A cult classic. The Black, F nib model is quite popular for various reasons, scratches to the ASA body aren't as evident and lighter weight compared to the AL-Star.
It's a great introductory fountain pen and comes at an amazing price point. It can clip onto a lot of things and the clip doesn't really wear much over time. The ink window is also quite handy.
The main aspect that would make it or break it would be the triangular grip, if you have a non-standard pen grip then this may not be suitable for you.

The AL-Star comes with an anodized aluminum body, the Vista is just a transparent body while the Umbra Rollerball is a standard rollerball tip.
The Lamy Safari and AL-Star variants also accept the Lamy Z28 Ink converter upgrade (add-on) which allow you to refill with inks of your choice instead of buying disposable cartridges.

Lamy Safari Pink M Nib $22.10
Lamy Safari Cream M Nib $27.04
Lamy Safari Vista M Nib $25.21
Lamy Safari Turquoise EF Nib $25.56
Lamy AL-Star Black Purple M Nib $27.89
Lamy Safari Umbra Rollerball $19.77

Excerpt from Lamy
The LAMY safari is the world's most popular writing instrument, and with good reason. The iconic LAMY safari incorporates functional modern design with a lightweight, durable plastic to create a reliable, robust, classic mechanical pencil that's perfect for beginners and experts alike. Initially designed for students, the Safari rapidly became a staple for stationery lovers of all ages.

Everything from its hard-wearing design to the smooth movement of its steel nib to the distinctive grip (designed to ensure comfort for long note-taking sessions) adds up to make the safari Fountain Pen a perfect companion for lovers of the handwritten word.

    Don't seem to have the same problem - unless using particularly fine nibs (and not writing regularly). Lamy M nib rarely drys out completely.

  Fair warning Lamy are one of those brands which have so many fakes flying around, if you do decide to buy make sure you check it's authenticity (look it up yourself there are so many guides). It also doesn't help that Lamy usually sells loose pens to retailers and charges them for the box so you can receive a pen which is just in a plastic bag.

  I have received a few fakes from Amazon in the past.

    For this reason, I just bought a pack of fake Lamys directly from Ali for under $2.. 😅

    Unfortunately this is true, the only reason why I'm happy to go with Amazon is that they'd refund me if it does turn out to be fake.
    It is fulfilled by Amazon Germany (The Safari Umbra F nib) which is better than a (Generic chinese name) seller, inventory can still be comingled though.

  Thanks OP! I'm a sucker for a Lamy pen - have never used their rollerballs so bought the Safari Umbra to add to the collection… :-)
