Olympus Evolt Lens

I recently purchased a used Olympus Evot E-300 D SLR camera. It came with one 14-45mm lens. I'm looking to purchase additional lens' as well as a flash, but I'm having trouble finding equipment compatible with this camera. I'm worried that because this is an older camera, I won't be able to find the right equipment. It's also quite possible I'm looking in all the wrong places, any help is greatly appreciated!

You can find lenses all over the place. Ebay, bhphotovideo.com/, Adorama.com, Keh.com, they all stock olympus lenses. The e-300's lens mount is the same as all of olympus' other digital slrs (e-5100, e-510, e-3, etc.) so a lens that will fit them will fit your camera. Basically, any four-thirds specification lens (like this one :http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/50 4906-REG/Olympus_261057_70_300mm_f_4_5_6 _Zuiko_ED.html) will fit your camera. As well, any four-thirds spec'd flash will work on your camera (like this one :http://www.adorama.com/IOMFL36.html?sid= 121906360969239) will work with your camera.

Hope this helps!

Go to tiger.tv for more information. The E-420 is the world's smallest digital SLR with all the features you need to take great pictures ...

Does anyone have any idea what kind of lens would fit an Olympus EVOLT E-500 digital camera? Do all olympus Lens fit this camera or another brand that would work? I bought one of these camera's but it didn't come with a lens so I am in need of one and wondered what possible brands would fit this type camera. Thanks
I chose the Olympus Evolt because I was able to get it at a really good deal. It was an estate sale and I got it dirt cheap...it just didn't have a lens...so am trying to find a lens. I was hoping ANY olympus lens would work with this camera..so that's why I was inquiring.

fhotoace's links a excellent. I just bought an E-500 too! Learning like you :)

I am going to buy an Olympus Evolt E-410 , but I am trying to decide if i should buy the 2 lens set or just the single lens. The difference in the two sets is that the 2 lens set has a 40-150mm lens and a 14-42mm, and other dosent have the 40-150mm lens. It costs 100$ more for the 2 lens set, What should i buy?

By itself, the Olympus 40-150mm lens runs generally between $250-275:

That makes it definitely worth it to pay the extra $100 for a package that includes both lenses.

Plus, having both lenses gives you coverage from effectively 28mm all the way to effectively 300mm, which gives you a ton more flexibility than just the 14-42mm would give you.

how old is the lens?

if manual focus its a MD mount, if its autofocus its a "A" mount which you use on a Sony DSLR,

Sony/Minolta mount lenses do not fit new Olympus DSLR cameras (like the e500)

It depends on your intentions and the amount of change in your pocket.

For starters, the Olympus Digital Zuiko 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 is an excellent lens ideal for most situations. Fast, good reach, sharp. The SWD version can be found for ~$899. The non-SWD version is a bit hard to find now new-in-box but if you can save a bit of money that way if you can manage to find one.

For people on a budget, the best choice would probably be the Olympus Digital Zuiko 70-300mm f/4-5.6. It's slow, shooting in low light will be difficult. Same goes with the 40-150mm kit lens which is a good, light, and affordable lens as well.

There are several more options. We can help you more if you give us a budget and what you intend to shoot with one.
