dave_f2 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 <p>What is the T shutter speed stand for on some large format lenses? What's slower than bulb?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheldonnalos Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 <p>Click once, it's open, click again, the shutter closes. No need to stand around holding the cable release for long exposures.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan_wayman Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 <p>On my cameras, it's click once to open shutter, then cover the lens & move the timing ring off 't" to finish the exposure. Works like this on my Kowa 66 and Nikon F3. A great idea, much better than "B" setting.<br> Alan</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_f2 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 <p>Would you say having a T setting would be any different than having a shutter release with a lock?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddler_b Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 <p>T is a more deliberate design but functionally they accomplish the same thing. It's a personal preference really....I use T when it is there. But I won't buy something because it has T.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
