Chris,

You can't use any lens that extends into the camera body. The digital  
cameras mirror up mode is not the same as the old film cameras.  In  
all the newer Nikons what happens in mirror up mode is 1st push of  
the shutter button the mirror locks up. Second push of the shutter  
the camera takes the photo and the mirror drops back to viewing  
position.

Sorry. I wish it used a mechanical mirror up mode as well.

Len
