M6 mark II shutter shock with EF-M 15-45mm

Hi, I've bought an M6 mark II with kit lens recently and did some testing of the kit lens to check if I got a decent copy. I was really disappointed with its performance at 45mm. Photos were really unsharp. After testing various hypotheses I was able to pin point the problem to shutter shock. I did some ca 1 sec exposures from a tripod and they went out good using both electronic and mechanical shutter, so I tested shorter exposures handheld with IS and voila! Here are the results (the test was not as thorough as in the existing shutter shock thread, but the results leave no doubt.

I expected to be happy with the new camera with much improved sensor and was going soon to buy more lenses for it and an EF adaptor for my already owned EF ones. Now I wonder if I should return it and keep my 700D or maybe make a warranty claim. I get same kind of softness also at 1/125 and 1/160. This is unacceptable in my opinion. I'm going to contact Canon support about it, but have little hope to get a helpful reply.

To other M6 mark II users - do you notice shutter shock with this lens with the same level of blurring as on those 100% crops from the centre of the frame?

Ouch - not good at all.

I tested my 15-45, 11-22 and 22 prime and I can't see any noticeable difference between mechanical and electronic shutter. Tried 1/60 and 1/80 second exposure.

The 22 prime does not have IS so I would have thought it would be more susceptible to shutter shock; but I can't see any difference.

Perhaps there's an issue with your 15-45 lens. Do you have any other lenses to test?
