My favorite lens for Panasonic GH4
Rented this lens on several occasions for several video projects and fell in love with it. Dreamed of owning it. The sharpness the, the background seperatiion are indescribable. When I saw it on sale on B&H's website recently I had to have it. Dream come true and an investment in Leica glass. You won't be disappointed!!!

O' Yes
Unfortunately this was the first lens I got with the GH4. Now every other lens I have tried does not come even close to this. I even have the Sigma 18-35 art lens with the new metabones speedbooster XL 0.64 which takes me to f/1.1 and that does not even come close to how good this 42.5 looks. it is worth every penny

Great M4/3 lens!
I'm using the 42.5 lens primarily for headshots but feel that it's a great all around people' lens if you're looking to obtain shallow depth of field on the M 4/3 cameras. I've read some reviews that felt the lens was large or heavy but i haven't found it to be either one (at least when compared to DSLR lenses)

Breathtaking
I'm a novice that purchased a GH4 and this lens from B&H 2 weeks ago. I bought it for my stepdaughters wedding this past weekend in beautiful northern Minnesota. Wow. Just, wow. Crisp, FAST focus, lightweight, not 'in your face'; this thing does all the work for a newbie photographer.

Leica Glass Superlative for Micro 4/3
Excellent low-light capacity. Works well to complement the Voigtlnder 17.5mm f/0.95 on the Lumix G6. I use this quasi-journalistically in available light for portraits and two-shots. So far nothing negative to say. The lens is sharp and contrasty and well worth the rather high price.

Best lens for the M43 system!
This has got to be one of the best lenses you can get for the M43 system. It's incredibly sharp and the images are supreme. If you love bokeh, you'll love this lens. It's my favorite lens out of my collection. Can't say enough good things about it. Worth every penny.

Crisp, yet mellow
Crisp, in that sharpness is screen and/or paper popping. Mellow, in that skin tone and gradient tones are smooth. Snappy auti focus response. Ideal for portrait and full body/fashion captures. Nice bokeh, which makes the subject (person or object) eye catching.

worth the money
Gave me the leica look that I wanted from my m lens with autofocus. Yes very expensive but good glass is always worth it. It will outlast the body if the OIS stays good. You can hear it stabilizing however...now I want the 25mm and a new oly body.

An excellent lens for low light
1. Superb image quality. 2. An excellent build quality. 4. A very fast auto-focus. 5. Manual aperture ring - very nicely done. 6. Manual focus is excellent. Large and heavier than Panasonic GX7 body itself.

Best lens I own
Hands down the best lens I have ever owned. Take this and it's image stabilizer and pair with the new gh5 and wow, you got some smooth footage with incredible depth. Great portrait lens as well.

Professional grade lens for portraits or low light
This would be the last lens I would give up of the 6 I own for my Panasonic Lumix GX-9 body. Astounding capabilities. Expensive, but worth it if you want the very best.

Worth every penny for getting the best images.
One of the best lenses I've ever used during 40 years of photography and videography. Sharp, fast, accurate color, great AF and nice manual focus control.

An Ideal Portrait Lens
This lens, when wide open, can produce results with the right balance of angle of view, depth of field, and image quality . It is an ideal portrait lens.

Amazing, simply amazing!! Had the Oly 45mm and sold it for this beast. Needed the stability for video and sharpness at f/1.2. Did not disappoint!

YES SHALLOW DOF!
I bought this lens last. Mainly because I was concerned about getting shallow DOF with a MTF. I'm very pleased with the lens performance.
