Monteverde Lamy Style Ballpoint Pen Refills, L13

This is the perfect refill for those who hate the Lamy M16. It's quite a bit darker and writes with an easy glide. You lose a bit of smear-resistance on smooth and slick paper, but most people won't mind. The refill doesn't fit the Lamy 2000, though it can be easily modified to fit the pen perfectly. It's a shame Monteverde chose not to make it compatible with Lamy's flagship. Otherwise, it would be a five-star review.
