I suppose it's better than nothing, I use the self timer on my SP in that manner since it lacks a
true MLU feather. However, I truly miss the real MLU of my LX.
Personally, I find the mirror pre-fire of the Pz-1p to be better suited for most purposes than the mirror lock up of the LX. Cocking the mirror for mirror lock up is just another step in the process, un-needed with mirror pre-fire, and for really high magnification stuff (>5x) the act of cocking the mirror can throw things off. I'd rather get things set and let the mirror automatically pre-fire.
The only exception to this would be situations where very precise timing is needed, like waiting for the split second when a wind-blown flower is still to shoot. But here again, as a user of both systems, my experience is that the advantage to mirror lock up vs pre-fire in this situation is very slight.
Personally, I find the terms "true mirror lock up" and "pseudo mirror lock up" to be needlessly pejorative. "Mirror lock up" and "Mirror Pre-fire" are two distinct ways of addressing the issue of unsharpenss induced by mirror vibration, with respective strengths and weaknesses. Personally, I find mirror pre-fire to be the more better solution, others may differ. But the suggestion that one system in inherently superior to the other is baseless.
