"SHOOT IT WITHOUT THINKING!"  May have something to do with my concept!"

Of course this is correct.

One of the things I do when I get a new (or new to me) camera is take it
out and shoot, then I shoot some more, then I shoot some more.

I usually stick with one lens on those outing, sometimes the 50mm
Summicron, but or often a 35mm Summicron.

Regardless, I shoot until I don't have to think about the camera or the
lens.   The M9, and M8 before it, and the M7 before it, and the M6 before
that got that way.

One of the problems for me with DSLR cameras is not the shutter lag, (I can
get used to that) but that I have to think about what to do to make the
camera "think for itself".

I keep thinking about that 1/15th of a second I think John reported, and I
really don't think it takes the camera that long to get moving after I
press the shutter.

Maybe, but if it does, I'm accustomed to it, and it doesn't register  in my
head as lag.

I was using someone's Kodak point and shoot with flash the other night.
Now THERE'S shutter lag!
