I ordered this pen in November 2022 and it was obviously popular as the backlog meant i recieved my pen in mid February. On first look my pen is very different from the photo so initially i was a little disappointed. However, after a long look and handling it is absolutely beautiful with swirls of gold and orange that have depth and lustre. Like all Leonardos, this writes beautifully too. Definitely a keeper.

I had for two months looked forward to receiving this beautiful pen. It was unavailable from Leonardo for a long time. So it was with great joy I received it. My first reaction was a bit of disappointment since the did not look like the finish I had ordered, as seen on the advertising pages. But of course it was a new batch og this finish. After a short time, having got used to the for me a bit unfamiliar design, I changed my perspective, and the new Stardust design grew on me, and now I just love it. And I love the Grande size, that fits my hand so well. And I love the more regular shape of the 2.0 section. And most important of all; this is a really excellent writing tool. It is a pen that for me makes it easier to write well.
I have a Leonardo MZG 1.0 and it is an incredible Jonathan Brooks Earth Magic 2, which was the Dutch Pen Show pen for 2021. This new MZG 2.0 in Stardust is every bit as stunning as the Brooks! I did a video review on my YouTube Channel "Inkquiring Minds" here:
This pen is absolutely gorgeous! Piston is smooth, and it holds A LOT of ink! The steel stub nib is tuned very well. For around 170€ (I bought it on 20% sale) it is absolutely worth it! The grip section is big and if you have small hands, it won't be comfortable to write with. Only 1 turn to uncap. Feels great in the hand! And you don't need to spend additional 30 on Leonardo's wrench - much cheaper HongDian wrench will do the job perfectly!
This was my first Leonardo pen, and my first oversized pen. And it completely blew me away. It's beautiful, feels premium and the writing experience was flawless (steel fine). It writes better than most of my gold nib pens.
J'adore ce Leonardo. C'est un très beau stylo dont l'acrylique est magnifique, passant d'un bleu profond (et translucide) à un brun ambré, doré par endroit, juste superbe. Pour le reste la plume acier broad est une réussite, bon flux et touché de page soyeux.
Le piston fonctionne très bien et l'ajout d'une fenêtre transparente pour voir le niveau d'encre est clairement un plus par rapport au Leonardo Grande classique.
J'ai également un Momento Magico dont je suis très content. Le Grande 2.0 est plus long de 0.6mm et plus épais au niveau du baril et de la section, ce que les grandes mains apprécieront, peut-être moins les autres. Il poste également superbement, il devient même plus court d'un ou deux millimètres que mon Magico une fois posté et celui-ci est pourtant déjà un posteur très agréable.
Bref je n'ai juste rien à reproché à ce stylo, L'un des plus satisfaisants que j'ai acheté. Cher sans doute, mais d'une qualité de fabrication digne des plus grandes marques.

Love this pen! The see-through window in beneficial for seeing the amount of ink. As with all Leonardo's (my favorite maker), they are well made and beautiful to look at. I love their nibs as well; they write so smoothly. Appelboom is my favorite vendor...cannot wait to order again.
I love the Leonardo Officina line of pens. Their materials are beautiful and so varied that there is a material for everyone. BUT the one item that made a great pen better is the addition of an ink window on the Leonardo Momento Zero Grande 2.0. How many times have you run out of ink when you cannot see the ink level. It always seems you are no where near your ink when you need some. Now your worries are over.
