Pentel Vulpotlood ORENZNERO 0.2mm [PP3002-A] (Japan Import)

Over the years I have purchased numerous mechanical pencils for writing, mostly Japanese brands. There is always something lacking, something vague and indescribable, and I think that’s why I was easily attracted by the newer releases and kept buying. But the hunt is finally over now.
I really enjoy this pencil. However, I can also see that it is not for everyone. So I’d like to share my two cents for potential buyers.
As I mentioned before, I mainly use this pencil for writing notes, mostly on “cheap” copy paper or Five Star notebooks. When writing, there is noticeable feedback from the tip but not unpleasant. Most of my previous pencils are 0.5mm, and I always thought that’s my favorite lead width. I was wrong. I don’t write too big or too small, but from time to time I do need to make comments within tight spaces. The 0.2mm makes a big difference. Not only is it easier to write with in smaller size, my writing becomes more legible. I also find the appearance of the design stylishly elegant. The grip section is longer than most mechanical pencils, the clip is tight and compact, and the pencil has a low centered design that makes it very comfortable to write with. The best thing is the automatic lead advancing function. One click, and I can write till the lead is finished. As for Cons, I’m not sure about the durability yet, since I only have it for a couple months. It’s a rather delicate pencil, and you don’t want to be rough on it. Furthermore, the refills are more expensive than most 0.5mm leads. Slimmer lead means quicker wear out, and so far Pentel is the only company that makes 0.2 leads, so not a lot of options out there.Finally, a quick note on the lead grades. I’ve tried both the HB and 2B leads, and I prefer the HB grade, because there is no significant difference in legibility as far as I can tell, and the 2B leads wear out faster and prone to form sharp edges. 

Fonctionnalité,prix ,qualité ,un peu excessif comme prix,mais la qualité est la,je l’adore orenz nero !

I wanted an extremely fine line mechanical pencil for fine detail work in my botanical drawings. The Pentel Mechanical pencil ORENZNERO 0.2mm delivered. I'm very happy with my purchase

Muy buen diseño y materiales. Funciona muy bien con ese espesor de minas.

Desafortunadamente no funcionó, no bajan las minas ni funciona el mecanismo retráctil.Tendré que hacer una devolución.
