Damn, his award-winning photo of a bolt was ruined, RUINED, I tell you.
He has officially left the realm of absurd and is now entering the land of insane.
We know there clearly are shutter movement impacts on sharpness in the a7r and apparently the M240 as well. But what I don't understand is why most people seem to feel it is a failing of the camera? Yes, ideally, there would be less of an impact on the image (or none), but shutter and mirror movement has been a specific issue with cameras since they were added as 'features'. This is not new and most camera test reports back in the film days would include information on the shutter speeds to avoid for this reason.
It seems that we have forgotten that, and now presume that this problem is something to bitch and moan about, call the company and complain about, and whatever else.
Far better is to do what K-H has done; test the camera and lens with the mounting arrangements he intends to use and learn how to overcome the issue with good shooting technique.
This camera is simply too light on it's own to dampen the shutter. When the camera design moves to a fully electronic shutter, this will probably be an issue of the past, but until then, some precautions are in order.
