Custom Wood Mechanical Pencils

Is very smooth and the pencils glides very quickly.

So the day i got these (4) i attached it to my custom wood bored pod. And put my camera and drove the speed limit in my hood. And add minimal stabilization in post and was blown away. I did no use straps or any thing. But dont go and do something dumb you camera is you money maker.

and it is wood.

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.!

*knock on wood* so far so good.

This is a solid block of wood, does everything you'd want a block of wood to do.

The best mechanical hard drive I had ever used.

This thing is solid, and has a nice weight to it. It isn't light or cheaply made. This is actually wood. Not where a company says wood then you get compressed hardboards and cardboards woods, no, this is Real Wood. Solid. It should ba illegal for companies to state made w wood when it's not wood. This Chair Is WOOD, REAL WOOD.

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.
