Your link doesn't mention geared movements at all, Ellis. From the description and the picture I infer that there are no geared movements, but this might not be obvious to everyone.

It appears not to have geared movements. The copy mentions clamped movements.

 

An excellent source of authority is an article by Quang-Tuan Luong, found at: http://www.largeformatphotography.info/roundup4x5.html

 

You will notice that Luong mentions geared movements when discussing a number of cameras, but it is specifically not mentioned for the Titan SF.

 

May I ask what kind of camera you are looking for? Geared movements are great for repeating well-known setups, but for a lot of field work they aren't important. Oh, gears are also good for persons with a tremor or similar condition.

I have one. It doesn't have any geared movements.

My point was: if it had geared movements (beyond focus) the walker site would have mentioned them. Sorry if that wasn't as obvious to you as it was to me.

Thank you for the responses particularly Rich. I did do a google search and one of the articles mentioned something like 'smooth movements, one knob for up and one for down'. I did not think there was any gearing, but that comment made me wonder. However, there is nothing like real expereience to clarify.

thankyou
