These things are getting hard to find. This one is for the FR line and RTS. The RTS II and later is different with a thread tip.

Click here to see on Ebay

Yeah, I have a New Old Stock one of that, the first one I mistakenly bought.
Not sure how to use the newer one, has a slider switch on it that shows red
in one position, and black when you close it. It's New Old Stock, too, but no
directions.

The one with the slider is for your RX. The way it works is like this.
If you push the button it releases the shutter.
If you push the button and then slide to the red position it keeps the shutter open like a bulb setting.
Camera must be on bulb of course
Having the NOS ones is nice. These are kinda fragile little beasts.

Thanks, Andy, appreciate the info! Having an NOS is better than POS,
any day! Wink

You guys are talking about this?



The switch is at bulb postion (long exposure).
Mine is NOP (New Old Possesion), I have never used it. Embarassed
By the way, what is POS?
