Micro 4/3 Camera

Was the exposure set for low light? The depth of field looks pretty shallow, suggesting a wide aperture.

Yes the exposure was set for low light and aperture was f2.2.

Lovely shot - some excellent sharp detail on the flickr blowup

...the bokeh is indeed very smooth and buttery too

Thanks Mike, very pleased with this camera and looking looking forward to buying a few more lenses including 42.5 F1.7 and 15mm Leica. The 42.5 should let me take some semi macro along with its portrait abilities.

You've got exactly the same set-up as me: GX80 + kit lens and the 25mm 1.7.
I'm well impressed with all the kit although the 25mm hasn't had much use up to now. The low light performance and focus stacking in camera are fabulous!

Couldn't agree more!

Used to have a 43 olympus full size camera. Good lenses. I gave it to my bro, and he still uses it

Nearly bought Olympus Pen camera but decided on the Panasonic as I like the compact Rangefinder style.
