What lenses are compatible with the Evolt E-500?

I'd like to get a lens that opens all the way to 1.8, preferably a zoom,

preferrably one that has a wide range of zoom-iness. What brands of lenses are

compatible with the E-500?

Any 4/3rds lenses from Sigma, Panasonic, Leica or Olympus are compatible.

There is no zoom lens at 1.8 from any camera maker.

 

Olympus does make one that goes from 35-100 in a 2.0.

Sigma 30mm prime goes all the way to f1.4

Here's a sample of the in-the-box 18 - 55 zoom.

 

Thanks

OM to Oly-E converter allows you to use the older manual focus OM series of lenses on the E-digital bodies, so you could use the 50mm F1.8 or F1.4 lenses, or 50mm/55mm F1.2 on the E500 as portrait/short telephoto lenses, BUT the viewfinder on the E-500 is small and therefore it is difficult to accurately focus any of the older manual focus OM lenses
