Of course there are times when mirror lock-up is needed. Whether its a bigger problem in MF than 35mm I'm nor really sure. I've had few problems with mirror vibrations on my hasselblad. The thing with mirror vibrations is the the relative weight of the mirror vs the body and the eigen /own)

Re: Pentax 645

You're quite right. The vibrations depend upon the combination of tripod - length of tripod and camera. If the tripod at a certain length has a eigen frequency same as the camera - even fastened well it will actually increase vibrations. If different, it will damp them. And of course how solid
