.5 or .7?

Which size lead is better?

 

6 is average from what I hear.

 

.5 for fine detail, .7 for writing notes and such

 

It's not the size, it's how you use it!

6 is not the avarage of 0.5 and 0.7....... :p

 

Neither. Both are too thick. I prefer a .005 ZIG millenium "memory system."

 

.5! .7 is for savages.

 

.5 mm diameter leads in a Pentel© Sharplet can do wonders
Pentel© makes some fine writing/Drawing implements

 

Seven. Why? Five phears seven, because seven ate nine

 

Where's innuendo when we need him?

But seriously, .5 kicks .7's ass.

I feel that this thread will be full of me soon!

 

Then all is as it should be.

 

.7 > .5


Try and deny it!

 

I usually use .7 when sketching, .5 when drawing for effect, and 1.1 when doing some real interesting things.

I go with .5 for my basic sketch and .7 to go over it and then ultra fine tip so I say, get both.

 

I use a pen.

 

oh! so this girl was hanging out with me and... well things started to go well. so we're removing layers of clothing and it gets down to crunch time and she says "what!! you use .5, i only want .7 or bigger!" and then she left and became a prostitute. but that's how life is.

 

Boo. 0.5 mm is obviously the better type of lead. It creates such sharp, neat lines. I have a couple of .7 pencils, but I really hate the way they look. So thick and smudgy! I really do look like a savage when I write with a .7, since it makes my handwriting so much bigger and messier.

 

damn prostitutes.
