Yep, I have all the lenses you mention, I shoot on a GH5. My favorite is really the 28 mm AIS. It's sharp right away at 2.8. It's like a 56 with a dumb adaptor or a 42mm with a speedbooster, and frankly I would have to pay so much more to have the same quality.

You are the GREATEST!!!!

One of the biggest advantages of the GX85 is its ability to take 3840×2160 photos directly from the camera. It can be displayed on a 4K TV in a point-to-point manner. The curve will not be deformed due to thumbnails, causing the image on the screen to be blurred.

did you using auto or manual focus on this one? also does this lens support linear focus or by wire?

How can see the preview image before taking it

My zooming capability is no longer functioning on this camera which sucks. Any tips?

2024 now almost 2025 and still Rock solid Camera

Impressive video for the amount of information dished out in its length of time.

So Lumix gx80 and gx85 is the same camera?

Nice video! Can anyone help? I have the Nikon 24mm 2.8 ais.. I was looking to attach the Viltrox speed booster .71x to blackmagic pocket 4k. The speed booster doesn’t attach to the lens.

Am I able to use the flash on the camera to record? If so, how?

Perfect! Thank you ma bro 👍👍👍

No, thank YOU, sir!

the second hand s5 does much more for almost the same price

Hey Spencer, Can you maybe send me the links to the filter threads and the filter you are using. Thank you ❤.

is it necessary to use ND filter to get best out of this camera?

Hi! i have been on this gx85 rabbit hole research. I have the g7 and the s5 from panasonic. I was lucky to find a gentleman on offer up who was selling some mint condition. he only used them once for an action scene then put them away in storage. If you are looking for an everyday carry or a travel then get it! it will not disappoint. I personally got it to shoot photos but its nice knowing I can shoot video if i want to. Thank you for the video!

Hi. I really love your gx85 tutorial and footage. You have shown me what gx85 capable of. Might wait some more result and footage of gx85 from you

I have the 18-35mm on my GH5, Do you think makes sense if I got the Zhongyi 17mm?

Paired with the Leica 15mm 1.7 is very underrated... I love this setup till today. I tend to bring this with me more than my S5 for trips. The image quality for this old camera along with the Lumix color science out of camera is something special.

i just sell my ricoh gr 3 due to its feel like a fragile camera, and im thinking to buy this one, and its 20mm lens

Even 4 years later this is very helpful, thank you :)

Come back to KZbin! These videos are incredible and inspiring.

I trust people who know how to light and compose a beautiful shot just talking about the lenses haha. Good work.

❗ Worth mentioning in the beginning: sole focus on its *video capabilities* only!

Thanks Spencer, as someone who previously owned a GX85 and now a GX9, I love seeing what it can do in capable hand. Anyway, may I ask if you have a tip to nail white balance or do you just stick with sunlight?

I realize it's been a long time, but nowhere and no one is announcing important information. At least it is not obvious to me. Such a question, in what program you paint video (in this camera there is no logarithmic profile). Immediately in rec 709 and add everything to taste or somehow need to convert correctly?

I have the gx85 and I can never sell this camera. I honestly think it’s the best camera Panasonic has ever introduced. Yes it’s older but at its time. It was seriously underrated. Install a 14-140 lens and the 25mm leica lens and you’re set for amateur. I get compliments to this day with the photos I take with it.

What did you use to grind down the protruding element on the 24mm? This is an issue with my 20mm using a speedbooster and would be nice to be able to use it with it.

Thanks for the video Spencer, a strong reminder that it is not always the gear but how we use what we have. I had the GX85 but upgraded to the GX9. Yes, it's an upgrade in every sense but part of me always miss the simple charm of GX85.

Did you stop making vídeos?

i didnt know you can evolve GX85 like THIS so awesome!

Amazing result our of this small box. i m rediscovering the gx85 that i bought 7-8 years ago and really enjoy it. Your video brings more interest to the video part. Some of the links are not available anymore, could you give the references of the gears used. Also why is the 25mm your favorite lens (i have 20mm and 42.5 and contemplating the 25mm), is it still the 3 years later?

Very useful video with great advice. Thanks👍

Awesome! Can you wear a backpack over the easyrig? Thanks!

Hey friendo, what sort of audio recorder do you use?

Have both the GX85 and GX9. Both really do get the job done. I like the Leica 15mm f1.7, 25mm f 1.4, and the Leica 12-60 mm f2.8-3.5 zoom. I use the zoom on vacation and the others for street work. Great video and the tips are certainly worth giving a try.

you got a new subscriber today!

Great video!! Just Purchased mine. If I have any questions with my set up may I give you a shout? thanks again!!

This video looks like a Von Trier movie.

How is it for just taking photos ? I wanna make a set up like this but I can’t find a video that just covers photo taking with a set up like this

Hi Spencer! Do you remember the picture profile/render settings you were using at this time? This is some of the cleanest pocket4k footage I've seen on here. Love that camera when it's shown correctly like this. Awesome stuff.

Hey Spencer! Love your content! What is your mic set when using gx85 ?

The Lumix GX85 is my first Camera and i love it. It has everything i need and so much more + it is really versatile for my needs. As far as i can say, i dont think i'll switch cameras any time soon.

Dumb review

Spencer, your videos and style are great. They're a good part of the reason I went with a gx85 and subsequently I'm turning into a gear addict. BUT I notice you haven't posted in over 2 years on KZbin and your blog. Is there a chance to ever see more of your takes on the gx85 in the future? Sincerely, A big fan

Hey man. I love the way the color grade. Just a few questions. I am considering the S1 to mainly use with vintage glass. How is the focus peaking and general experience with vintage lenses? Also when I checked the DPreview studio comparison tool I did see that it has some weird color science when it comes to the RAW photos, it has that weird green tint on it. Did you experienced that? It seems like the S5 has a much nicer and different color science but everyone is saying they have the same....now I am very confused to say the least......

I have the lumix g9 but I have someone wanting to trade the gx85 w my lumix and I was considering the trade since the gx85 more smaller and seems like a perfect travel camera… you think I’d be losing by giving my lumix g9 for the gx85??

Just bought recently the GX85 with the 14-45 Kit-Zoom, just for 240 USD and will use it mainly for ICM-Photography.

Any difference video quality wise between this and the G85 or they are identical if same lens applied?
