Awesome! I've never tried large format. I had a cheap medium format TLR (Yashica) that had bad light leaks. Like what you're seeing on the right of your image, maybe, but all over the image. Did you develop and print these yourself? They look great.

    Possibly.. The ones I've had do that, they still taste fine, but I have to time the roast by smell, color, gut feel, instead of my usual "x length of time after 1C is rolling" or whatever. I'm not an expert! But yeah, some bags I've had, they crack quieter than others. And over the sound of the roaster, hard to tell...

    Could it just be these beans have a quiet first crack? I feel like I've noticed that with some. (I use a modified popcorn popper btw.) Like, 1C will be a barely audible crackle for some beans. (I never go to 2C; can't comment on that.)

    One of my favorite corners. You got Powell's, and that other tiny bookshop around the corner. 2nd Street thrift shop, mochinut, the Bagdad of course.....!

    great pic, really nice lighting.

    Hey! I'm pretty new to this mech keyboard thing but I'm hooked. A couple months ago I got an Aula f75 and I love it. It sounds sooo nice and buttery... And the linear switches feel awesome to me.

    I started looking at cute little 40% boards and thought I'd really like something ortholinear, minimal, where I'd have to use layers and home row mods etc. I got the $40 mk47 from Micro Center (sort of a Planck knockoff), put on some blank caps, learned enough QMK to set up my layers and tapdance and all that, and even switched from QWERTY to colemak-dh. This scratches a number of my neurodivergent itches! And I'm up to 35wpm after a few days. :P ...

    Except for two things. It doesn't sound nearly as good as the Aula, and my wrists are starting to hurt. (My daily driver was a split membrane kb for years until this.)

    I've been looking at the zsa voyager, and it looks like it could be "the one"-- it's portable (important), well built (can throw in backpack to take to office), etc. But will it satisfy the need for that sound?? So far looking around on YouTube it kinda doesn't seem like it,but it could just be that Voyager reviewers don't focus on such silly things as thocky vs creamy, lol. But this is important! Anyone feel me?

    So I've also been looking at Cornes, and whatever other minimalist split kbs out there. I don't want to solder anything myself, which removes some options..

    Any recommendations out there? Either for other boards, or "yes the voyager can thock"? Thanks in advance!!
