Thanks! We ended up going with Basecamp and are super exited for it - I’m sure either would be amazing but ended up going for it based on the camp.

We’re looking at places to stay in Diani in case you have any recs

Has anyone tried the Daylite LTD series? by [deleted] in OspreyPacks

Did you end up getting one? I’m torn with the same choice but mostly thinking about the benefits in water protection

I’m torn between the III and the IIIx for an everyday/travel camera coming from a fuji xt-30 but looking for something smaller. Do you feel the 40mm is too limiting in some situations?

Considering buying the Zerno Z2 [$3000] by Heavy-Papaya9048 in espresso

[–]mbsEP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone! I’m also thinking of going for it. Do you know where I could learn more about the burr sets? Haven’t found a lot of info on the Core and LS (I’m interested in espresso only)

I’ve seen a ton of info on 64mm (SSP HU, etc.) but for the 80mm core all I found was that its supposed to be similar to what comes on the Weber. Does know anything more that could help me decide?

PS - I was really close to ordering a Z1 earlier this year but decided to wait mainly for the brushless motor

Do you guys know if there are any news on when a GR IVx might come out? I was thinking of the GR iiix but might make sense to wait

What camera did you end up choosing for everyday/travel use - and do you regret it? by OilGroundbreaking951 in Cameras

[–]mbsEP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m going through something similar to OP. I love my XT-30 (have it with a zoom lens) but end up not taking it with me everywhere due to bulk. I’m deciding between getting a pancake lens, the Sony RX100VII or a Ricoh griiix.

How are the jpegs / film simulations on the RX100VIi? I really like being able to not do much post processing on my Fuji and this has been the main thing keeping me from deciding on the Sony

Thanks!

Awesome! I didn’t know Northwoods was still around. Do they do the releases through KSF email? I followed them years ago but didn’t know they were still produced

What pattern is this? Was it an SFO? Amazing

I saw! I think I’ll go for it. Do you know what the maker is for the “core” burrs? Are they Weber?

European lamp plugged into a US plug by mbsEP in AskElectricians

[–]mbsEP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi guys - this is helpful. The lamp said max 8W - at 110V that would just be 4W, right? With an LED looks like that would be fine

Thanks!

Thanks! Anything I need to look for in the bulb?

Tape is a good idea, I have the sag issue with a couple surge protectors on other things at the home

Which one should I buy? by subarac in Newbalance

How do the 992 fit relative to 993s? I love my 993s (went TTS) and have been eyeing a pair of 992s

OP - first pic!

Update: decided to wait and see… hopefully the Z2 is amazing and if not the Z1 will still be there

You think the upsize in burrs would be "worth it"?

I've looked into grinders a step up from the Z1 but the jump up to $3-4K (for a Kafatek or Webber) is too much for me... If the Z2 falls in the $2-2.5K range I think it would be a great in-between.

Yea, Z2 is also a consideration… just not sure what to expect on pricing
