The shutter on my lens has a T setting (time). You trip the shutter once to open it, then again to close it. The time between open and close is 12 minutes for this shot. You can use a regular cable release with a shutter with this function. If it only had B, I would have to hold the plunger down (or lock it somehow) for the exposure time. Ya, all my night shots are done with a Shen Hao. The last set of shots I took are all at f/8, just one stop down from wide open on this nikkor-w lens. They were taken at night under a full moon.
