Review Title: Leonardo Momento Zero Blue Hawaii ST (EF)

I just received this beautiful pen and am very happy with it. The resin on my pen is much more complex, bluer, and lighter than the pens in the images -- I was expecting a more dark-blue, grey with lighter stripes up the length of the pen. Mine is, well, different, but it's also gorgeous.

The pen is built very well -- the screw-in converter sits securely in the section, and the section screws quite deeply into the barrel. The section threads are very smooth and don't interfere or bother whatsoever when writing. The cap unscrews after exactly 1 turn, it's perfect. The pen has a nice heft to it -- it's not heavy, but it "there" and feels solid in the hand. The cap posts deeply and securely, if you're into that, without changing the balance of the pen significantly.

The EF nib is a generous EF, but reverse writing is possible (a little scratchy, but flow is good) with an ultra-fine line. I personally wouldn't mind a thinner line, but it's no thicker than a German EF.
