Title: Perfect Portraits
Review: The Panasonic Lumix 85mm f/1.8 lens is essential for any full frame lumix shooter interested in portraiture. The lens is relatively compact and lightweight, pairing very favorably with the 50mm f/1.8 lens. It offers beautiful smooth bokeh and fast, accurate autofocus. The focus motor is also very quiet which makes this a great video lens as well.While this lens does not have any image stabilization, it does work very will with IBIS enabled bodies such as my S5IIx and allows me to shoot confidently down to about 1/15 of a second handheld while maintaining sharp focus.Overall I am extremely happy with this lens, especially for the sale price.

Title: I love this lens.
Review: This lens was bought along with my first camera Lumix S5II and it has helped me take a lot of beautiful pictures. I dont know how to take amazing photos so I didnt want to make a review until I got a good grasp on how to use it. Im new to photography so I cant say what it does that other lens dont do but I can say its very compact and feels like something worth more than the price I paid for it. It’s very sharp for what I want and for the most part wouldnt every complain about sharpness. I was able to use it for very low light scenarios and still take nice pictures as long as I stood still.It gives me a good distance between my subject and me allowing me not to completely bother the animals. This is the first lens I used and its my favourite so no real critiques or anything. All I can say for certainty is it produces some of the most beautiful pictures I had the pleasure of taking and the build quality feels amazing for what I paid for it.

Title: Awesome lens.
Review: I got this lens with my Panasonic S5. Overall picture quality is excellent. The Sigma 85mm f1.4 is probably a bit better, but the form factor and price make this a better general purpose lens. The video autofocus on the Sigma is legitimately horrendous. Autofocus for both pictures and video on this Lumix 85mm is excellent. If you want a good, portable 85mm lens for the L-mount system, this really can’t be beat.

Title: Sharp, beautiful lens!
Review: I love this lens. I purchased it with my LUMIX S5iix. I use it mainly for portrait videos, outdoor talk heads. It gives beautiful bokeh in the back ground. The auto focus is good 90% of the time, but there is a little bit of focus breathing every now and then under certain situations. Generally very happy with the purchase.

Review: I combined the maximum ISO the Lumix S5 allows (51.500) and the max aperture from the lens and the results were amazing. If you want very sharp portraits and you are a night photographer I definitely recommend it to you.
