I too was originally attracted to the Pen-F but ended up going for the GX85 for some specific features...
The classic design of Pen-F was part of what I found attractive and this drove me to consider a similarly styled used E-P5 (though obviously they have very different capabilities).
Wondering if the E-P5 firmware upgrade, which enables a '0 sec' anti-shock setting, was effective in mitigating shutter shock?
Found this DPreview report which briefly covered the update:

Once the e-p5 firmware is updated and you set to 0 sec anti shock then it is very effective. I got my e-p5 after the firmware came out so have only experienced no shutter shock on e-p5.

E-pm2 i also have. Once its set to 1/8 anti shock it reduces it. Some lens body combination make it more apparent. Some lenses ive never noticed it.

GM1/GM5 100% shutter shockless.
