MR>> *The mirror lock-up trick works on the MX, and the KM/KX/K1000: If you flick MR>> your finger down/against the shutter releast just right, you'll trip the mirror MR>> mechanism but not the shutter. Then you can push the shutter release down all MR>> the way to take the shot. Practice without any film in the camera and you can MR>> get pretty good at it.
Hi, I am thinking that possibly, the Leica R has a little gadget that screws into the regular release which you press to lock the mirror up, instead of releasing the shutter! Possibly, this might work on the same principle?!? Or perhaps with little modification, to allow it to be used on Pentaxes!!! What a great idea, don't you think?
