Shutter shock has nothing to do with the lens other than a "slow" lens causing the shutter speed to be in the range in which shutter shock is noticeable (around 1/60 to 1/200s is my understanding). PM2 has a setting to reduce/eliminate shutter shock (adds a delay after the curtain or something).

On slrgear, this lens is very very sharp and tempts me to buy a used GM1 instead of a cheaper PM2.

In my experience, SS susceptibility varies with a given lens, shutter speed, and focal length.

My primes and wideangle zoom are immune to shutter shock at any speed on my GX7 (7-14, 20, 45/2.8, Sigma 60/2.8), but my 45-175X will SS between 1/100-1/250 (give or take).
