Review Title: Another beautiful pen from Leonardo

This is my 2nd Momento Zero, I was so impressed with my first (the Blue Hawaii ST). This pen is at least as beautiful as the Blue Hawaii, maybe more so. The images capture the acrylic very well, although the blue on my pen is quite a bit darker. It's a complex material, though, and rewards your gaze!

The build quality is excellent, as expected. The cap unscrews with a tick more than a single turn, the threads are smooth and flush with the section (the threading is beneath the section surface -- very nicely designed) and don't interfere with writing.

The pen has a comfortable weight in the hand when writing -- it's very light but not insubstantial, the EF nib is more or less the same as on my Blue Hawaii -- a generous, wet, German EF. Mine is filled with Iroshizuku Hoteison and flows beautifully. I wouldn't mind a thinner line, but it's fine enough for my tiny handwriting.

I would recommend this pen very highly. For the price, it's a luxuriously designed and executed product.
