I’ve been working on THIS series for four or five years. I have a photo update below of some additions. Unfortunately, each time I find one, I learn of others. A bottomless pit.
Here are the items still on my want list:
-Platinum MD-200
-Platinum MD-150
-Micro M.I.T. 5000 Classic
-Tempo 1072
-Dong-A Hi-Teknow 2000
-Dong-A Promatic 2000
-Dong-A Hi-Teknow 1000 For Pro
Let me know if you can think of others to add.
Not sure if it is any different — or you already have it — but the Micro M.I.T. 3001 in 0.5 ticks all the boxes (and it is basically a clone of the rOtring 500); more here.
Wow, that is a lot of variants. I guess I just need one. I am not a true completist. I just want representative models.
KIN 5617 and Classmate are awesome. Where I could get some?
The only thing I’m wondering about is the transition between the grip and the body. It feels sharp to me… doesn’t it press into your fingers?
Those two are very tough to find. There is a version by Pyramid, the PP105, that can still be found in some Thailand online stores.
Good eye on the rough transition detail. It is a design flaw.
If no one else steps up, I may be of some assistance with the former; I’ll DM you if you want.
