Yes you can by pressing twice the shutter button. The view finder gets black but you'll have to get your composition right beforehand

My point is that with the mirror up you can't see through the viewfinder. I've never tried pressing the shutter button twice though.

You press once to raise the mirror, and a second press brings it back down after the shot has been taken.

I still cant see how having the mirror lock up can make a shot taken at 1/125 on a tripod sharper. Think its a case of emperors new clothes although happy to be proven wrong.

I think you will find that around 1/125 on a tripod is probably the best point to begin MLU.

I dont agree, but thats just based on my opinion. What i really dont agree with is at this speed it will make a huge difference when mounted on a tripod, as per the OP's images.
