On the older screwmount Pentax cameras and MX's,
the trick was to give the shutter release a very quick flick,

The mirror would go up, but the shutter wouldn't fire until
you gave it a follow-up push.
Not an easy or reliable way to get mirror lock-up.

I was hoping that the document would give me some clues on why the mirror is staying up *after* the shutter release, until a shot at fast speed is taken.
