Aaron, Not really. I'm sure the camera will sell better to macro photographers and astrophotographers and the like, who like the mirror lock-up in extreme situations. Don't forget, Michael tested the system in daylight with a short exposure. It may still be that the MLU offers a slight advantage in other conditions. At the very least, it is a reassurance to those who are used to using it. It was probably not too difficult to implement, either. I certainly think it proves that nobody has to worry about mirror-induced vibration in normal shooting, which is nice to know. --Mike * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Mike Johnston's online articles about photography: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/m-johnston.htm http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/opinion/mikejohnston/index.htm http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/opinion/html/sharpness.htm - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
