I've bought a Mamiya RZ67 50mm ULD lens and a Cambo Actus G, with the RZ67 lens plate. The camera body is a Nikon Z7.
As I understand it, since I will using the focal plane shutter in the Z7, the shutter in the lens needs to be set to remain open.
Following the instructions with the RZ plate, I've rotated a pair of silver pins at the rear of the lens. The remainder of the instructions say:
"The shutter will be closed, but after setting it to T you can open it with a cable release. After that it can remain open and you'll be able to use the aperture ring."
I have set the switch on the lens barrel to T, but I don't have a cable release for a RZ67 lens. Will any cable release do the trick, is there an alternative method of opening the shutter, or will I have to find the correct style of cable release i.e. on eBay?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Steve.
