This pencil is utterly superior. I want another one or two.
.7 is much better than .5 and even better than .9.
And, I just really didn't realize how much better a mechanical pencil could be. Wow. Thank you.

JohnK.BatesDo you mind sharing what makes the 0.7mm the sweet spot? I always liked 0.5mm for the thinner lines.

NyquistRateJust sharing personal opinion, I generally always tend towards the 0.7 (along with others in my household and my teams) because it's more visible for general writing and drawing. Only if I'm drawing a precision sketch or writing in an extra-small notebook (like the Moleskein pocket) would I tend towards the 0.5 or smaller.
