Yes, but you must tap first then CAREFULLY screw in the release.
A problem seldom mentioned with the "shutter tap" method of MLY
is that once you tap, the shot is committed; you can't get the
mirror down without taking a picture.

The KX might be your best bet for doing MLU-type shots on a
budget.  The KX will lock up the mirror AND stop down when
you use the MLU lever.  I've been told the K2 flips the mirror,
but does not stop down.
