Lamy Safari Mechanical Pencil - 0.5 mm - Shiny Black Body & Chrome Clip - LAMY L119BK
  The Lamy Safari is a..., May 7, 2012
The Lamy Safari is a good pencil, but it could use some improvements.
Pros:
-Comfortable grip
-Retractable tip
-Lightweight (Could be a con)
-Barrel cleaner at the end of the eraser
-Looks awesome
Cons:
-Mine came with a lot of scratches
-Sometimes a large amount of lead will slide out of the tip when you push on the cap hard
-Eraser cap a bit loose
Overall the pencil is good, but I would recommend getting the one that's yellow, a classmate has it and it looks awesome.
Rotring 600 Drafting Pencil - 0.5 mm - Black Body - ROTRING 502605
  Great Pencil! This pencil..., January 30, 2012
Great Pencil! This pencil is the best thing in my pencil case so far. Not to mention the most expensive. It's heavy, something that I like, and it's grip is skinny enough that it won't make your middle finger sore. (Unless you have large fingers)

PROS!
-Mostly Metal (Except for some small parts and some internal parts)
-Clip actually works
-Lead grade indicator
-Knurled grip
-Is compatible with the Pentel Z2-1 erasers
-Heavy (can be pro or con, depending on you)
CONS!
-Tip does not retract (not a big deal, just be careful)
-Dirty stuff can get stuck in the grip (I'm and aesthetic Nazi)

For the price, I think this pencil is worth it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!
