I actually got one of my favorite shots with the MZ-S with the 2-sec delay on (though it *was* tripod-mounted, in this case). I had the shot framed with the moon where I wanted it and was waiting for a flock of geese (possibly even Canada Geese!) to pass by. When they reached the moon I pressed the shutter button and heard the "snick" that told me that the mirror had locked up but the shutter hadn't fired. Two agonizing seconds later the shutter fired and I was convinced I'd missed the shot. I'm convinced that the result was better than if the shutter had fired when I intended - when the geese were right under the moon.
