Hey Ed, thank you for the info. The “bulb” setting you’re talking about sounds exactly like what I need. I’m not seeing that on my lens though, just T, so I think that may be on one of their other lenses like you said. I have a 127mm Sekor C for reference, after some light googling it seems that the K/L lenses have the B mode. Very weird! I think for now I’ll just be capping the lens and then turning the shutter speed dial to end the exposure. Thanks for the help!

Hey oleksandrk, thanks for the reply. That’s definitely one way to end the exposure. But as per my post, I’m trying to see if there is a way to close the shutter with the shutter release cable. Even my K1000 allows the shutter release cable to both open and close the shutter. So it would surprise me if that’s not possible on the RB.

Hello, I’ve been trying to take long exposures with my RB67 with mirror lock-up. I set the lens to mirror lock-up, screw the cable release into the lens, set my shutter to T, and then fire the shutter on the body. Then I press the cable release shutter and the lens shutter opens. So far, so good. But when I release the cable release, the lens shutter stays open. I read somewhere that you need to depress the cable release again. Tried that, still no luck. The only way I’ve found to end the exposure is moving the lens off of T mode. This is ok, but will still introduce some camera shake, which is not ideal. Is there a way to close the lens shutter with the cable release? Thank you!
