The complaints about this lens are two words: shutter shock.

I've definitely noticed this, but attributed it to the tiny GF5 body I normally use it on. Is there reason to blame the lens?

It's actually both lens and body, but most bodies in mft are light and it's the very reason people are drawn to mft.

If you have a newer body with e-shutter function, you can easily test it with and without invoking the e-shutter.  Holding on the extended part of the lens also helps to reduce shutter shock to an extent.
