Hello - is the Mitsubishi M5-305AT an autofeed pencil like the S30, Orenz Nero and AT, etc?
When were these manufactured?

Need a picture here. The only Mitsubishi AT I’m aware of is a rubber-barreled model that retailed for ¥300; I don’t consider these pencils to be in the same class as the S30, Orenznero, or Orenz AT.

Sakura produced a nearly identical piece to the Mitsubishi AT; I believe it was called the Sakura-Matic, and it also had a rubberized barrel and a cheaper-looking aesthetic.

The Mitsubishi and Sakura pieces are from the 80s or 90s, making them a totally different generation than the pencils you mentioned.

I have some of those. Yes, they have automatic feed, but not a very good one. I think they are the only actual automatics that Mitsubishi-Uni ever made prior to the KT Dive.

I guess you mean the Sakura AT matic (not to confuse with Sakura ATS matic).

Thank you—I knew “matic” was in there somewhere, but I also knew it wasn’t totally correct :joy:
