Panasonic body, Olympus 4/3 lenses best options? G85 any good?

As I said elsewhere....

My experience is that the EM1.1. focues the CDAF enabled lenses faster than it focuses the PDAF lenses, and if focuses them faster than my other bodies (at least other Olympus bodies - I can't speak to other Panasonic bodies) - do.

My EM1 focuses the 14-54 mk ii lens faster than it focuses the 14-54 mk i lens

My EM1 focuses the 14-54 mk ii lens and the 9-18 lens faster than my E-P5 or E-PL7 does.

So in fact, there is no issue whatsoever with the EM1 using the CDAF-enabled 4/3 lenses.

Is it possible that the DFD is a secret sauce that lets Panasonic bodies do even better with Panasonic lenses? Sure it is. But in terms of OLYMPUS 4/3 lenses, the E-M1.1 focuses every single one of them whether they are PDAF only or CDAF-enabled, at least as well as any other Olympus M43 body short of the EM1 mk 2
