Pentax 67ii metering, exposure, MLU
Mirror Up is intended for when the camera is firmly fixed on a tripod.
The 67 has the metering in the prism head, so when you lock up the mirror light can no longer reach the meter cells. Locking up the mirror whilst hand holding seems a very difficult way of using the camera though. Why not just use it as intended and go from there?

Thank you very much for once again sharing from your vast experience with (Pentax) photography!
I am a novice with using the 67ii, so the problem is that I do not really know how to "use it as intended" - yet
But I am a fast learner - MLU only with a firmly fixed tripod
As John said, the Mirror Up is intended for use on tripod and once the mirror is up, the exposure is fixed.
Do you still have the problem with getting the exposure right?

I used aperture priority mode, 400ASA film and shot hand held, using MLU for most of my shots. I guess I might have moved the camera in the timespan between locking up the mirror and pressing the release button. Does the metering in aperture priority mode function after the mirror has been locked-up?
The 67ii manual does not have any information about my question, so am grateful for any advice on this matter!
