You claim that placing the camera on a tripod should not reduce
the blur if it were indeed due to shutter shock. Could you
please explain in physical terms why you think so.  I expect
'shutter shock' to behave in practical terms like mirror slap -
the vibrations from the shutter would be transmitted largely
internally. Mirror slap can sometimes be reduced on a tripod,
but in my experience (from countless hours testing cameras and
lenses as my day job) it never goes away entirely. I once tried
to test a 1.5kg Sony 70-200mm F2.8 bolted down hard onto to 6kg
Manfrotto 058 with an NM405 geared head, using an SLR without
mirror lockup. Nothing I tried would make mirror slap go away.
Have you seen this test, probably the most serious investigation
of shutter shock ever conducted
