Re: Yes, Shuttershock is real with the GX8.

I have noticed it with the 42.5mm f1.7 and the 35-100mm. I've also noticed some strange focusing issues in E-shutter mode, where it supposedly locks focus, take the photo, and you'll see the focus breathe right after the photo was taken (with finger fully depressed on the shutter)... this does not happen with the mechanical shutter though. I have also been having issues getting sharp shots with the 35-100mm f2.8 lens between 60mm-100mm at most focal lengths with the GX8 using dual IS versus using my old E-M10 and using just its in-body, 3-axis stabilization. I haven't done a true A/B test yet, but I think I will soon to determine if its my copy of the 35-100 or something wonky with the GX8 body.

I took quite a few photos today with the 35-100mm (I don't think I've ever tested it for shutter shock), so I'll take an extra close look in post to see if I see any of the telltale signs of shutter shock.
