Retro51

Superb pencil. I chose this after weeks of review. It seems a great alternative to some of the Rotrings out there. I've been using one everyday as a student for months, and I really don't have any complaints. The tip retracts like it should, and is relatively stable. There is a very slight amount of play when drawing very small circles, and you can feel it if you play with the tip with your fingers, but when writing it's not noticeable at all. Build quality is fantastic, full metal with the exception of the lead tube which is plastic. But as long as you don't try and forcibly break it, it will last a lifetime I'm sure. There are a few machining marks on it, but overall nothing to complain over.

Overall it's wonderful, it's a joy to use,...
