Mechanical Pencils With Good Erasers

I love this bag, the GRID-IT is perfect for multiple drawing pencils, sharpers, erasers and space in the compartment for a sketchbook. With a few minutes to spare, I can unzip this compartment and I have a mobile studio with everything laid out for easy visibility and access - no fishing in a dark grab bag. The main compartment has multiple pockets for flyers, papers, and personals. The only thing I would add is a zippered interior pocket for a wallet.

Is very smooth and the pencils glides very quickly.

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

I have just begun to use this paper and it seems to be of good quality. I am using it for black and white prints and have begun to color in it with marshall color pencils. It seems t hold the color in well although it does not get the same quality that agfa papers that I used for enlarging in the darkroom did. Still, a good quality paper and the colors look good on them.

I was a mess before these came in to my life. Now I use them for everything, not just camera stuff. Medication, pet treats, pretzels, erasers, gift cards, raisins. I could go on but you get the idea.

These are excellent erasers, that removes all traces charcoal and lead from my art. Gum erasers are all that I use, though this was the first time trying this brand. The ink used for stamping the logo on the eraser is not permeable but that is not a big deal to me; I just wiped the brand logos off with a microfibre cloth before I using any of them. I usually have bought the Alvin brand in the past but they don't make them anymore, these are a comparable substitute.

Truly a great system for those teeny tiny pieces of erasers to gently remove some pretty tough stains.

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

The best mechanical hard drive I had ever used.

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.
