Using T on a Mamiya RB 67 Pro-S/180mm C lens

[TheFlyingCamera]

Anyone know how to use the T setting on this combination? I just picked up an RB67 Pro-S on the cheap with the 180. I wanted to play around with doing some night shots with it, and I can't figure out for the life of me how to get the T setting to work- it opens the shutter and leaves it open, but it doesn't close on a second press of the cable release, whether it is hooked into the body or the lens release socket. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as it is still under warranty.

I believe you need to use a remote shutter release on the lens to close it, or if you can without moving the camera, trip the "mirror up" knob on the lens

Turn shutter speed ring to close.

To close the shutter again you need to either cock it or turnthe speed ring. Before doing that, cover the lens or put a lens cap on so you don't ruin your shot.

Turn shutter speed ring to close.

This is the correct answer.
