    I love the .5 and .005. They are staples for my sketchbook.

    These pens are ideal for anything due to the different point sizes. I use .5 & 1.

    I've been using the .005 PIGMA pen for about 8years. 100% of my drawing are done with them. They are superb for detail, offer a wonderful feather look on rag paper when dealt with a gentle hand. Time tested and proofed to be consist in application.

    So much better (and cheaper) than Rapidograph technical pens.

    That's not a bad price. Those pens alone are like three bucks. I have to wait for a special just to get them.

    You really cant beat the price for the line you get out of these. Even though they wear out pretty fast, they are only 1.99 much cheaper than rapidograph pens or other fancy pens that cost 20 times as much

    Whenever I cannot have a quill pen due to lack of convenience, this is my first choice for a substitute! Durable tip and consistent ink flow make it my preference over other products.

    Thin, precise, fantastic coverage, and luminosity. Limited colors and durability (especially in the smaller pens) can be an issue.

    These are my absolute favorite pens to work with. The only issue I've ever had was when my children "borrowed" them and returned them bent. The nib is fragile. But I've never broken one on my own... ;)

    I really enjoy using these pens because their fine tips allow me to add so much detail to my work. Their colors are vibrant and they're great for illustrating comics. They also are great for lettering.

    Very reliable pen for me. It's never gummed up or dropped that nasty blob of excess ink on my work.

    I whole heartedly agree. I used a .005 in combonation with a Faber Castle Pitt "F" for most of my pen illustrations. You cannot beat this pen for the price.

    I used them for map making which was deffinitely a good choice. With the smaller point sizes, there is a risk of bending them so be careful to write lightly.

    These are excellent, reliable pens. They are easy to use and make perfect lines. I always use these to ink in my cartoon strips.

    I use these primarily for my inking. The only problem is, they run out of ink far too quickly. If they actually had a nice well of ink in them, I'd give them a 5. But at the price you pay, it's just not enough ink.

    These pens are outstanding for anyone who works with small-scale, detail-oriented projects. They do tend to run out of ink somewhat quickly, but only if you misuse them (write with them, use them over large areas, etc.) The ink is extremely durable and will not fade over time, or smear easily as with some other "wait to dry" art pens. I've tried a *lot* of different similar products over the years, and I always come back to the Pigma Micron pens as the ultimate best. Ideal for detail work, could not be better!

    sanjoe, Sat, 28 Jun 2008 23:17:31 UTC.

    I like these pens because they come in different numbers and so I can choose the kind for the thickness of the line I am drawing. When I do my nursery names I use a .03, and have been known to use a .01. For other lines I use the .05 as suggested. I would advise anyone to try these as I think they are great.

    These pens never fail to feel pleasing in the hand, make clear marks, and while I stick mostly to black, have a range of tip sizes that pleases my eye.
