My F2 Photomic and Mamiya 645 1000s both have self timers and shutter locks, as do a few other of my cameras, Me Super, Spotmatic F, Ricoh XR2. Just to name a few. The Mamiya has not one but two flash sync sockets.

I wish my Spotmatics had shutter locks. When I'm out shooting the shutter is always cocked. I don't know which photo will be my last. Then I throw it in my backpack or something and often the shutter gets tripped.
My FM2N has all the features I need, including shutter lock, albeit via the shutter lever rather than a separate lock.
A filter that automatically corrects the exposure and improves the composition as the shutter is fired. <<Grin>>
I like the shutter lock a lot, sometimes I wind, put viewfinder to eye, think "ehh, doesn't look that great" and stick the camera back in my bag. I hate accidentally exposing frames, especially on rare (to me) films, like my last roll of E100VS
