## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this have both pen and pencil?**
A: It has the 600 Pencil only . I have Rotring 600 Pen and 600 Pencil 0.5mm. I’ve used both for over two years and they are excellent!

**Q: Title says 0.5mm blue, but i have 0.7mm blue selected. what would i be getting? confused…**
A: The 0.7mm is just thicker lead than the 0.5mm. I prefer 0.7mm because the lead breaks too often with the 0.5mm for me. Just a personal preference.

**Q: Hi! I was wondering if the selection of .7 mm lead and blue colour pencil is a blue pencil with .5 lead, as that's what it says on top?**
A: It comes as 0.5mm and 0.7mm. Just be careful to click on the 0.7mm option when ordering. It is a great pencil. 0.5mm is too thin for me, but the 0.7mm is excellent.

**Q: can the .05 lead be replaced by a .07 lead in a rotring pencil?**
A: Hi Pono the poi dog, this is Ivana from rOtring Consumer Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our Rotring 600 Mechanical Pencil HB 0.7 mm. Please note that it is not possible to use a different size lead, the mechanism will not work properly and it may end up damaging it.
