Default Mamiya Rb67 mirror up question.

I was reading the manual for the RB 67 Pro S for mirror up operation...


Using a cableless release technique with the RB67, as you go to
actuate the shutter, if you rotate the mirror up knob slightly forward
(you'll have to pull it out a little to do this), you'll reach a
point where it is "perched" to be released. Then, a very slight twist
forward will release the shutter. In other words, do it in two steps,
first get the mirror up knob "perched," then give it the tiny nudge it
takes to release it. This is not as ideal as using a cable release,
but it still is better than simply clicking the shutter release, and
better even than having to pull the knob out and twist all in one
motion.

Thanks, I'll try that. Ric.
