A Gold Mechanical Pencil

Great lead supply for my mechanical pencil. These are very thick and so far, not a single has broken even when I extend a bit. Very happy with these lead refills.

I purchased both the 10mm and 11mm Artisans and found the 11mm definitely sharper when comparing lettering at 400% on a calendar in a room shot, however at 4 inches the 10mm was amazing. Purely by accident while shooting tests with the 10mm with the Lumix S1r I focused the camera on a pad of paper I had written notes on in pencil. Along side of the pad were 8 or so new Dixon pencils with gold stamped lettering all sitting on a dining room table cluttered with computers etc. At f8 with the lens so close the background dropped beautifully, but what astounded me was the detail of the lead pencil writing on the paper the the gold leaf stamping on the pencils. Photo had Color, contrast and even a bit of micro detail in the paper texture and writing. Based on this and other tests, this is a great lens for very closeup experimental work. Colors are accurate and vibrant. Lens is seemingly well corrected for this type of work with Capture one correcting purple fringes. For room shots and sharpness stick with 11mm unless you need the extra angle.

Nice pencil.

The best mechanical hard drive I had ever used.

I never realized I could be such an artist. This pencil can do it all.

I have never owned an Apple Pencil but I do not know that I would need one after using this one.

This pencil has so many features! 1. Durable! I have dropped my pencil many times by mistake, and every time it bounces off hard tile floors or concrete, and it has not broken at all. 2. Gestures on the Side. I use the double-tap to switch between pen and eraser 3. Replaceable Tips. A lifesaver. I once dropped it right on the tip, and dented the tip badly. I replaced it, and voila! it worked again. 4. Tilt gestures...the feature you didn't know you needed. The eraser, for example, gets bigger when the Pencil is tilted. 5. Wireless charging, WOW! I love wireless charging. It simply clips onto my iPad Pro, and it's always charged and ready. 6. Future-proofing. The new M2 iPad Pros support Apple Pencil Hover, which is amazing in Procreate....here's the kicker...this 4+ year old pencil supports it!

I just recently got a Apple Pencil to start using my iPad for my drawings and I wanted something that would stop my pencil from sliding around on the screen, having fingerprints in the way, and will have an overall easier feel. I found Paperlike and watched many reviews. I wasn’t sure if I should buy it but I’m glad that I did because it has helped me a lot. I have a lot more control of my pencil and my drawings come out a lot better. I would 10/10 recommend this product.

After a lot of research I chose to purchase the IPAD Pro 2021 M1 along with the Apple Pencil Generation 2 to illustrate a children's book I wrote last year in the hope of getting published. The Apple Pencil is like using a real pencil and brushes with the ability to sense pressure, angle and stroke methods. It permits actual shading, line weight and darkness like you were using real varieties of, pens, pencils, and brushes. Response time is immediate with no lag. It is a game changer in digital art and though pricy, if I lost the pencil today, I would be placing a new order the next day. B&H has been my go to for the past 15 years for any and all things Apple / Mac, photography, etc. They provide outstanding customer service, support, and the items I need are always in stock and of high quality. Don't buy a stylus for your IPAD if you are into graphic design, stop looking and make the purchase, no regrets. Well, just one issue to be completely honest, the blue tooth connection to the pencil has lose connection a couple times, but I just turned off Bluetooth in the iPad and turned it back on... back in business!

This thing is amazing. So lovely. So matte. So perfect. I love using this with my Apple Pencil - it’s actually preferable to using pencil and paper now. My only advice would be to make sure that you watch the video about how to apply it - you do not want to have to scrap one because you thought that you could skip the recommendations and go straight to the installation.
