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!
This is such a nice feedback and we are always trying our best to make the experience of our customers memorable. We are glad to hear that you are enjoying the design of our lens, the autofocus and the image quality it has to offer. We look forward to hearing from you again soon! - S

I like how you can get tighter portrait shots without having to physically be closer to your subject
Hi Mark! We appreciate your 5-star rating! We're glad you're enjoying the ability to get those tighter portrait shots. One of the key advantages of this design is capturing intimate, detailed portraits without needing to intrude on your subject’s space. - S

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.
We love hearing from you! Thank you for leaving feedback for us. -C

Beautiful portrait lens!
I was used to 50mm but that is a little too wide for portraits.
85mm hits the sweet spot!
No problem with focusing or anyting, Super sharp at 1.8.
I use it with my S5 Lumix
Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that the lens is hitting the mark for both portrait and street photography. The beautiful out-of-focus effect is definitely a standout feature, and we’re so glad you love it! Happy shooting! - F

This is an amazing prime lens. I haven't had a lens with a fixed focal length in a long time, and this lens has reminded me why prime lenses are so important. It's snappy, sharp, and works well with my Lumix S5. The bokeh is really good, and its worked well for portraits.
Hi Javier! Thank you for the fantastic feedback! We're thrilled to hear that your experience with this prime lens has rekindled your appreciation for fixed focal lengths. Pairing it with your Lumix S5 sounds like a powerful combo, we’re glad you’re enjoying the sharpness, speed, and beautiful bokeh it delivers, especially for portrait work. We truly appreciate your support and hope the lens continues to inspire your photography. - S
