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.

So how did you test it? Like this?

Or like this?

Neither. I just look at the photo and judge the sharpness. If it is sharp, that is good enough for me. Up to now, I didn't have any deviation from my target sharpness that could suggest the effect of SS on my Oly cameras.

OK. So what you tested, at best, is whether the shutter shock is strong enough to be a problem given your personal target sharpness. A negative answer to that question obviously does not imply a negative answer to the question of whether shutter shock exists or not. That it does has already been established by better evidence, for example that to which I linked.
