In 2018 I used the GX85 and Panasonic 42.5 f/1.7 prime for my annual Las Vegas Strip time lapse video (time lapse is photography turned into video). IN the past they were shot with a DSLR. Nevertheless, the MFT is quite capable to do night time lapse and video in low light with f/1.7 primes.

A small behind the scenes clip off the 42.5 on my GH4 while they were resetting a scene on the other side of the room for another take.
Some photos from my new arrival - interesting to use, and it's the first time I have had a fast lens to play with; I can see there will be a learning curve for sure. I've bought it primarily for indoor tennis, but can see it being put to use for a variety of things!
This is Evie, our little JR girl whose second litter we have just finished finding homes for. She is happy to be back in the sun, far from the daily 'slop and lick' daily grind of a seven-pup litter....
A wee go with a Raynox 250 on the nose. A bit late in the season but there are still a few things about. This is a firebug, a.k.a la gendarme in France, tucking into a hibiscus seed pod....
This our garden gate, rusted in place for years. I was amazed by this rendition of it....
Autumn leaves on the gable end of the house....
Mrs M trying to outfox the kids on the table-tennis table....
And lastly a random B&W from a hedge. I can see the 42.5 being a great garden lens, both for flowers and insects. It'll certainly be good for largish things like bees and butterflies, as others have pointed out....
Any comments on technical things would be appreciated if you see something untoward with my settings and stuff. I loved this on the wife's GM5 - what a competent tiny outfit.
