Best portrait lens for the panasonic lumix g95?

For portraits on the G95, I'd start with a lens around 85mm equivalent, which means a 42-45mm lens on Micro Four Thirds. Three good options from the G95 list:

• Panasonic Leica DG 42.5mm f/1.2: the fastest of the three, so it gives the most blur behind your subject and works best in dim light.
• Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm f/1.8: a sensible everyday pick that still gives a soft background.
• Panasonic Lumix G 42.5mm f/1.7: a simple option if you want a standard portrait lens without extra speed.

Whichever you choose, light matters more than the lens. Read light beats gear before you spend money, and see portraits for the full guide.
