Bamboo Mechanical Pencils

Is very smooth and the pencils glides very quickly.

Like them much more then the bamboo

Better than the bamboo I had

This upgrade for my pen tablet was a long time coming. My Wacom Bamboo finally died. Its a little different bc there was more surface area on the bamboo. Almost the entire surface is usable space on the Intuos. Not a hard transition though and I like the extra space on my desk. One of the other reviews complained about the lack of surface area, that there needed to be space for your hand to rest (which there was on the bamboo... sort of), but the thin, sleek tablet design makes this issue a non- issue for me. I like the thin tablet. The pen is also different. The Bamboo pen had a larger diameter which was easier to grip. Intuos pen is much thinner and is definitely an adjustment for me, especially when retouching for long periods of time. But again, this is new and I think I'll get used to that quickly. Very easy set up. Nice and responsive to touch and pressure. Also the pistachio green makes me smile : ) Overall very happy and would recommend.

Very simple to sync. Just as good as other top rated pencils.

Weighted - solid - easy to find in our drawer of crayons, markers, pens, pencils, etc.!

The best mechanical hard drive I had ever used.

Awesome. Always had Wacom tablets. This one will substitute my old Bamboo.

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.

I love this headphone stand. Plenty of room atop the stand for my cup of pens and pencils, while still holding the headphones. Great solution for a cramped desktop. Solid. Recommended.
