Every medium format SLR I've owned (Mamiya RB67, 1000S; Bronica SQ;
Hasselblad 500C/M) had mirror lock up. It is an essential feature on
medium format SLRs. On the Hassy, it's a little lever that falls
right under your thumb when you're holding the camera with a waist
level finder, with your finger on the shutter release.
click with the thumb, click with the forefinger a moment later.

it wasn't on the list of choices the original poster asked about).
I don't
know how many other med format cameras have MLU, but my suspicion
is that
they're not as easy to use as the 67. My recollection of either a
'blad or
a Bronica was that using MLU was quite a bot more difficult.
