For owners of the E-PM2 and Panasonic 14-42X

I recently bought the Olympus E-PM2 to go with my E-M5 and I'm quite happy with it.

I am using it with the Panasonic 14 2.5 lens, and I'm getting very good results.

However, when shooting with the 14-45 zoom, I get a lot of blurred pictures, due to the shutter shock and IS on the lens trying to compensate. Also, the lens is just too big on that cam. I like it on the OMD much better.

I was wondering, is anyone using the E-PM2 with the 14-42X, and getting good results? This little Oly seems more prone to the shutter shock issue than the EM-5 (gripped, by the way). And I can clearly "feel" the shutter when firing, which is not a good thing.

So how does the 14-42X behave on a camera that is quite severely affected by shutter shock?

Thanks in advance!
