The "F" series Nikons (F, F2, F3, F4) all have mirror lock-up, but
it is somewhat awkward to use on the F for single frames. The FM,
FM-2, FE, FE-2, FA, FG, FG-20 (and EM?) have a quasi mirror-lock-up
feature, in that using the self timer raises the mirror and closes
the diaphram at the beginning of the timer cycle. The F, F2, FM,
and FM-2 have mechanically-timed shutters.
Hope This Helps
