And I'm not sure if yours would have cut it with my OCD behavior ;p.

Here is a shot of the last 45mm 1.8 I had with my E-PM2. I'm a believer in shutter shock (i.e. not blind to the facts) and this is shot in shutter shock territory, but if you know about it you can attempt to brace the camera a little better to minimize it. Regardless I ditched the E-PM2 because I wanted a shutter shock free body which many of the newer Oly's now are.

I don't believe in shutter shock because I never saw any evidence with any of my mirror less cameras, and your cute photo here, is another prove to it, because there is nothing wrong with it.

Shooting such a portrait at f/1.8 from close distance produces a very thin DOF and this is what we see hare. Nothing to do with SS IMO.

With any of the Olympus cameras that have 0-second anti-shock, I guarantee you that if you take some test shots with it on and then off, you will see that your photos are sharper with the 0-second anti-shock turned on.

Just because you are too lazy to look for it doesn't mean it's not there.

I've seen shutter shock on EVERY SINGLE m43 camera that I have bothered to test.

look at the posted photo. Part of it is sharp and part is slightly oof. If it was SS, it would have effected the whole image and not only part of it.
