Mechanical Pencil That Auto Spin

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.

just got it Friday and took it our for a spin yesterday--used it in auto mode and love the colors of the pictures--also read that turn on the airplane mode to save battery power and also turn off prefocusing in menus my battery did last when I did this--now will go to other setting like S and A to see how they work that is the settings I use most in my other cameras--

I was curious about this lens ever since Hasselblad announced it. I loved the idea of the smaller size and nearly silent shutter. Even though I already owned the original 45 3.5, I just recently purchased the 45P. Pros of 45p vs Orig 45... it is definitely much more quite, almost too quiet. It is nearly completely silent. It is much smaller and looks perfect on my X1DII. Some have said they find auto focus to be a little slowe, but I don't think so. In my opinion it may even be a little faster.... although the mechanical auto focus is louder. I prefer the mechanical focus as opposed to by-wire. Image quality is very similar between the two, but to my eyes it retains highlights a little better. So far I love the lens and I believe it's an overall improvement over the original 45, and at an amazing price.

pro: high built and mechanical quality. sharp images con: no auto focus. no aperture data. highly recommended!!!!

There are plenty of reviews around the web on the Broadcast G2 so I won't talk much about it other than to say it's fantastic. The lens deserves its own callout though. It's fantastic! The zoom rocker works so well that you don't even notice it. If you want to go nice and slow you can do so without accidentally pressing it too far and zooming in quickly. If you want to go full bore you can and go end-to-end in ~2 seconds. The servo focus ring works well (I never use the mechanical focus ring). It's tuned well enough that I seem to hit my focus every time without overshooting. One oddity of the lens though (which is not documented). Macro mode is what gives the camera body full control over focus. When not in macro mode you can press the one-touch auto focus but the lens will immediately revert to the mechanical ring's position after auto focusing is complete. Despite its name, macro mode will still focus all the way to infinity so I just always keep my lens on macro mode. I've not noticed any obvious chromatic aberration when all the way at tele but I've also not tried to look for it either.

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!
