The DP Journey: S5 Autofocus…is it GOOD ENOUGH?

The DP Journey:

Panasonic promised us a much better AF system… and it delivered! BUT with HUGE caveats. In this episode I’ll explain how Panasonic’s new Auto Focus system works, what improvements they implemented as well as share some tests.

Panasonic Lumix S 85mm F1.8 Review by Photographyblog: “something of a no-brainer in the value for money department”

85mm f/1.8 lens at BHphoto and Adorama.

Photographyblog tested the new Lumix 85mm f/1.8 S lens and concluded:

With a full retail price of £549.99 / €679.99 / $599.99, the Panasonic Lumix S 85mm F1.8 is something of a no-brainer in the value for money department. It makes for a very nice partner when paired with the diminutive Lumix S5 camera that we reviewed it with.
Overall, it certainly fits the bill as a fast, high quality yet affordable portrait prime lens for Panasonic S full-frame camera users.
