I fell in love with this pen as soon as I opened the box. The lime color is true to what I can see on the screen. Just a beautiful looking pen...very light-weight. I have a small hand so this Standard version is just the right fit. Feels well balanced when posted too. As for the nib (H-M)...no hard starts & it writes like butter!
My phone showed one color and my monitor showed another, so I was concerned about the color. Green can be tricky to get just the right shade. But the color is perfect! I have a Sailor in extra fine and one in medium fine, and this fine nib is just right.
Normally, I only take less expensive pens to work but I like this one too much not to use it during the day.
