I don't have an OM1 so no mirror lock up, but I have done tests with a 4Ti and 300/4.5 with self timer, thus aperture pre-fire and MLU, versus Holding the lens and body with my hands while they were mounted on the tripod. I tried a variety of shutter speeds.

I could not discern any differences in the Provia slides so I believe Olympus knew what they were talking about when they recommended the hand holding method.

Could be. Maybe you should run some tests and let us all know :-) . We could award you the Gary Reese Award. While you are at it, check out MLU vs. none please.

My guess is that the vibration absorptive capacity of hands holding the camera would far exceed the vibration from the aperture stop-down mechanism.
