The pro "F" series (F, F2, etc.) have mirror lock-up (though the
mirror-flip is so smooth in the F4/5 that it isn't really
needed...;-). Old bodies, like the Nikkormats, have MLU, as, in
a way, do newer ones (FG, FE, FM, FA, etc.), since using the
mechanically-timed self-timer flips the mirror and diaphragm at
the beginning of the delay timing. I haven't had problems with
using other Nikon bodies without MLU (8008, etc.)...
