I just came back from a trip to japan (aka: "pen/mechanical pencil paradise") where I refuse to reveal how may writing instruments I picked up :-) At the very end of the trip (thank goodness) I hit this place called Tokyu Hands (no, it is not a typo!) which is like a high-end Hobby Lobby on steroids and as my friend tried to pull me out of the art section and its 5 aisles of pens/pencils/you name it, I spotted this Rotring 500 black mechanical pencil. Interesting, I thought...I need this. But when I got to the hotel that night I realized the pen said 0.35 mm. Darn it - where on earth will I find lead for that I thought...and now that I am back home a trip to Meiniger told me there is no such lead size...so I went online and searched for it and voila! Your simple explanation cleared the way! Thanks! I shall search for the 600 as the 500 is very nice but not as hefty as I normally like it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200978858695986279.post-49357612565050279812010-01-04T22:31:07.024-05:002010-01-04T22:31:07.024-05:00Sorry to bud in on you Gents, but I'm hoping o...Sorry to bud in on you Gents, but I'm hoping one of you can offer some insight into the inspiration for the design of the Rotring 600 series Pens.<br /><br />working on a project and hitting a wall.<br /><br />EddoUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01036335142643946894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200978858695986279.post-33417032491974585802009-08-20T11:38:46.999-04:002009-08-20T11:38:46.999-04:00is the tip retractable, and how scratch resistant ...is the tip retractable, and how scratch resistant might this pencil be? i have been itching to get one of these for quite a while now<br /><br />wynne and wesPenmaniacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08213416127301962638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200978858695986279.post-17957749126877279452009-07-19T11:07:37.423-04:002009-07-19T11:07:37.423-04:00I was informed last year that Pentel would soon st...I was informed last year that Pentel would soon stop including clean out rods with their pencils.<br /><br />I have bough several pencils that came without one, Platinum, and Alvin to name a couple. The first thing I do is to put one in my pencil if it lacks one. I make my own from stainless steel rod. Pilot makes a couple of stand alone clean out rods that they include with some of their erasers.<br /><br />http://www.jetpens.com/index.php/cPath/34_358 copy the link into your browsers nav window and go to JetPens. The page shows erasers for mechanical pencils. On the page are two green plastic boxes, one opened and one purple box. The boxes contain both erasers and a couple clean out rods. One for the 0.3 mm pencils and one for the others.The Old Geezerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15852072254280348354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200978858695986279.post-59714579614484314992009-07-19T02:20:14.143-04:002009-07-19T02:20:14.143-04:00Mine doesn't have the rod eitherMine doesn't have the rod eitherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200978858695986279.post-6320978552208230452009-07-18T08:53:25.288-04:002009-07-18T08:53:25.288-04:00I collect these 600s.
