I don't own that lens and have seen great results with it from others. But it does appear as a culprit more so than any other lens when shutter shock is the topic. Yet some never experience it at all ?

Originally posted by thepedant I never heard of shutter shock before I came here. It would be very helpful to me if an example image could be posted please.
Don't have an image to show you but here is a brief explanation.
The first shutter curtain is triggered and hits the buffers.....this creates a shock wave through the camera which in certain circumstances can cause the image to blur.
Above a certain shutter speed (1/180 ish) you wont see the effect, because the second curtain will have already closed before the resonance triggered can have an effect. Below a certain speed (1/60 ish) you wont see an effect because although the blur is there, the resonance is over before the majority of the exposure is captured.
Cameras with focal plane shutters have suffered from shutter shock from the day they were invented to this very day. All brands.
I notice it only on the K1 when using a long, footed lens on a tripod in the indicated shutter speed range. I have never seen it handheld although others have. The ES option in LV eliminates the problem
