Does anyone know how these compare to Sakura Pigma Microns?

Josh_CI have tried both. I personally prefer these Ohto. I use the pens for drawing so i primarily use only the smallest sized nis.
Sakura nibs wear out VERY fast (at least for the nib sizes i use) and cannot handle fast strokes from drawing.
These Ohto pens though are made of metal. Dont have to worry about going too fast or the nibs wearing out before you use up all the ink. Very good for writing and drawing as well.
The downside of Ohto is that because they are rollerballs and not straight nib, they will leave a little blob at the start unless you are a quick writer or can draw quick. It took some practice but you can normally work around it.
I would recommend the Ohto over the Sakura Microns anytime, anywhere. Especially considering that they tend to be the same price (single prices, Sakura tends to sometimes be $1 more expensive than Ohto depending on where you look)
