I have the G85. Did not know that about the lower-bit file in ES. Would like the G9 and see the benefits of an upgrade but will wait to see when the price drops. Ron

Thanks. Ron

Nice shots. Ron

Stick with the 12-32. It is an appropriate size as the 12-60 would look big and clumsy on the GX85. Ron

Does not need to be plugged onto the port. No, all controls operate as you would expect, the grip plus the camera. On my DTSE you can switch the grip off. Uses battery in grip (must be set) first, ...

I still use my E330 with the Oly 50mm F2 macro for clock work. The live-view manual mode works very well and allows a 10X zoom to get precise in-focus macro shots. Ron

Thanks for the comments. Ron

Just curious if other use zebra for exposure compensation. I like it, it works great once set up. Ron

I like the weight, feel and internal focusing of the 45-175. I also have a good copy. Ron

DTSE grip arrived several days ago. I am really impressed with the quality and cannot imagine there would be much difference between it and the Panny grip. Everything works as it should. After a ...

Love the aperture ring. Tack sharp and great contrast. I am a traveler and the lens is great for museums and the like where flash cannot be used. Not a great lens for video, not noisy like the 20 ...

My thought exactly. It's a hassle to carry extra batteries, better to extend the shot life if two batteries are in-camera. Ron

15, 1.7 is excellent for stills but focus hunts on video. At least I find that to be the case. Ron

It is on the slow boat and will not arrive for another few weeks, unfortunately, but I hope to have it for an upcoming Spain/Portugal trip in mid March. Ron

Ordered this today. https://www.amazon.ca/DSTE-DMW-BGG1-Vertical-Panasonic-DMW-BLC12/dp/B078N4RM9G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1517757866&sr=8-2&keywords=panasonic+g85+battery Ron

The third party grip also interests me. https://www.amazon.ca/DSTE-DMW-BGG1-Vertical-Panasonic-DMW-BLC12/dp/B078N4RM9G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517624198&sr=8-1&keywords=g85+grip This one is by DSTE ...

Have this lens but has been superseded by the pana 15, 1.7. The 20 is a great lens for stills, awful for video. The hunt and groan of the focus motor is very audible on video. Ron

I am a 15mm fan myself. It is on my camera at the moment and it is tough to take off. Nice shots and a good illustration of how it separates close from far away objects (bokeh). Ron

Great lens but do not use it for video. Focus motor on V1 is very noisy and detracts from taking video. Ron
