    The build quality feels solid and professional

    The Panasonic LUMIX S-S85 85mm F1.8 lens has quickly become my go-to for portraits and close-up shots. The build quality feels solid and professional, yet it’s surprisingly lightweight, which makes it easy to carry around on shoots. The image quality is stunning—razor-sharp with beautiful, creamy bokeh that adds so much depth to my shots. Autofocus is quick and quiet, perfect for both photography and video work. For the price, this lens is a steal! It’s a must-have addition to any LUMIX S series kit. Highly recommended!

    Great addition for portraits

    Very happy with this lens, works great with my Lumix camera (L-mount). Produces very sharp and clear images. Great for portraits and subjects.

    Great lens for a great price!

    This one's hard to beat. It's sharp, has a beautiful bokeh and works seamlessly. I used it to film a master class series (video) and it made everything look great.

    A must for portraits!

    This lens came free as a part of a promotional package. Honestly, the value was too good to pas sup when I was looking at the camera. If you want amazingly sharp photos, with contrast, and bokeh, this is a must for portraits.

    Nice extra lens

    I like how you can get tighter portrait shots without having to physically be closer to your subject

The LUMIX S 85mm F1.8 is a large-aperture medium-telephoto fixed focal length lens, compatible with all L-mount cameras for maximum versatility. The S85 enhances portrait photography with its beautiful bokeh effect in a compact and lightweight body. Comprising of 9 elements in 8 groups, the 2 ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses effectively suppress both axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration of magnification. The LUMIX S 85mm F1.8 provides smooth defocus gradation from the focus peak to the neighboring area of the image as well as smooth, round bokeh of point light source without vignetting. It also excels in video recording performance with a mechanism that suppresses focus breathing, which was a fatal problem of all interchangeable lenses designed for still image photography. The rugged dust/splash-resistant* design withstands use under harsh conditions even at 14 degrees Fahrenheit. * Dust and Splash Resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with dust and water. • L-Mount is a trademark or registered trademark of Leica Camera AG. • Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.

Ideal for a wide range of photography, from landscape to portraits and snapshots, this lens uses three aspherical lenses to achieve both high depiction performance and beautiful bokeh. An excellent choice for video, it suppresses breathing during focus and realizes smooth exposure change by micro-step control of the aperture, enabling high-quality video expression.

This compact, lightweight, and dust-*, splash-*, and low-temperature resistant lens is easy to carry and dependable, even when shooting outdoors. * Dust- and splash-resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with dust and water. • L-Mount is a trademark or registered trademark of Leica Camera AG. • Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.
