Do I need the "mirror lockup"?greenspun.com : LUSENET : Pentax 67 SLR : One Thread |
Do I positively need a mirror lock up feature if all I use this camera (6x7) for is aerial photos with a 200mm lens at 1/500 or 1/1000? David S.

David - for hand held use at high shutter speeds I actually preferred the original body without mirror lock up. I have no experience in an aircraft, but would have thought 1/500 and 1/1000 would be ok.

No, You definitely do NOT need this feature. In fact, I don't know of a single aerial person using the mirror up function. There are too many other factors in aerial work, and it simply doesnt offer the same benefit it would in a landscape at slower speeds.
