Can anyone recommend a good 2 mm Lead Holder? I used to have a Camel brand one in India that had a lead sharpener built into the push mechanism at the top, but I loaned it out and it broke in '01. Since then, I've had a nostalgic longing to return to 2 mm and after seeing a previous post with one (I believe it was the Staedler Mars 780), I'm interested in recommendations if anyone has them!

Yes, it's very solid, and I like the bottom (top?) heaviness. Writes very well. I've not tried writing a long time with it yet, but it feels like I'll be able to write for a while before tiring out. Is it worth the $30 I paid for it? Probably not, but hey, I stopped seriously justifying my expenditure months ago.

Cross-post here: but does anyone know where I can score a Rotring 600 Rollerball, other than on ebay?
I've found Montgomery pens, but they want $90+ for one

Thanks for those first impressions! I'm seriously considering the purchase of a Wacom tablet (Intuos3 6"x 8" version), and the Rotoring sounds like the ideal pencil when I can't use my tablet to doodle (aka during class

).

Alright, so I guess I'll handle the group buy for the NA market. If you're interested PM me, dont post here because I might miss it. I'll find the total price with shipping and divide it by total number of pencils times the number of pencils you want + $5 for shipping.

Sounds good?
