Losmandy HGM Titan
i was wondering how people found the Losmandy HGM Titan. i am considering picking one up second hand as a package and wanted get the collective wisdom of IIS. given that it is almost the same price and load capacity, my guess is that most people would opt for the Paramount MX. Also when you compare it to the much cheaper EQ8 it doesn't stack up that well either on paper. the Titan doesn't have encoders (not that i can see anywhere on the net), it has about the same PE and load capacity as the EQ8. i have to say that i am surprised that they do have the same capacity, the titan does look like a much sturdier machine with a good quality finish, i wonder if the EQ8 ratings are ambitious and the Titan a little on the conservative side... (maybe the difference is imaging v visual capacity)
I want to keep this as a very general thread on the quality of the Losmandy HGM, any feedback to help make my decision easier would be much appreciated
