Olympus Lens

I have a Olympus e410 with the 14-42mm lens and was wondering what people would recommend as a upgrade lens for the camera.
I have noticed the lens`s for the Olympus are quite expensive so this is going to limit me a bit.
I want to use the lens for general photography as well as low light and landscape.
Started saving me pennies already but may have a way to go.

According to the forum stats, there are 8, compared to 89 Canon, then factor in who visits regularly and how many of those Oly cams are DSLR...

All I can say is yes I know that an Olympus Lens is expensive. The thoughts that went though my head when I saw the price of the macro lens are unprintable. So keep saving. Sorry I can't help you with what lens to purchase for low light and landscapes.

Hi m8 got thesame problem, got same camerea recently and looking for a good macro lens + telephoto. sigma has got a good range of 3/4 lenses. try digilake.com 24mm aspherical macro lens looks quite tasty. seen some reviews and its good for around £150-180. also try sigma 105mm macro, tasty. the only downfall of cheap sigmas is that autofocus is slow.
