What other lens is good for this camera?

The lens is built in and you can't use other lens on this camera. The built in lens is excellent and has a 60x optical zoom and 120x Dynamic Fine Zoom (software enhanced).

Li,What does a longer lens excel at shooting? I'm almost a complete neophyte, and can't google up the answer to this one.

If you need a pretty good wide angle try the Rokkinon 14mm. It has only manual focus. The 20-35 Canon is a good lens. I have both and they are good for a budget. thx

I will say that I think the 40D is a great camera, if anything you might look into getting another good quality lens for it.

Thanks for all of the feedback. I bought the E-510 about month ago and it has been great. I am glad I went with the two lens kit for $650 on amazon. Its great to have both lenses. The E-510 is proving to be a great camera.

there are lots of Olympus lenses available . I would stick with Olympus lenses as they are very sharp. I use a 14-54mm lens which cost more the the one they package, but is incredibly sharp, fast (aperture) and rugged. I also use the 4.5 - 5.6 70-300 ED lens which works great as well.

I got this lens for my brother, and I really like it, we used a lot. Take a look of some pictures at www.mediawork.ws

I'm sure there are kits with this lens out there, but the lens alone is Perfect for a 'standard' lens - much better than the Canon 18-35mm, which was the standard in kits for years. The 18-135mm is great for Any Canon digital SLR.

Upgrade the lens, b/c you can always use them WHEN you upgrade your camera. The 50mm f/1.8 is a good start, you may also thinking about a 85mm f/1.8 and/or the 35mm f/1.8 as options.

Good questions. If you want the best lens you've ever used, sell your 75-300 and get the Canon 70-200 f2.8 IS USM II. It is hands down the best lens I've ever used. It's fast and will make every shot look like a pro. Nothing beats having a 2.8 aperture. It's expensive, but so worth it. Another great lens would be any of the Canon 50mm primes. Or the 40mm pancake prime. I like the 50mm f1.4 but the 50mm f1.8 is amazing too. There's even a 50mm f1.2 but it's way expensive.

This lens can be purchased with different camera mounts. You need to select the right one.

I have the Oly 45 and 75, and the panasonic 25 and 12. The 75 is regarded and one of the finest lens around, and its very sharp, but its $900, and the focal length isn't always practical. For the money, the 45mm is my favorite. Its inexpensive and very sharp. When you hold it in your hand, honestly, it looks a little cheep but the results are excellent.

Or the 35mm F1.8 AF-S which is closer in price to this lens. (I have the 35mm and its fantastic for what that is worth).

Most versatile would be a zoom lens. If you have the money, buy a Panasonic 12-35mm f/2.8.

For the money it's a decent lens. For a little more money you can get a Tamron 17-50 2.8, which I think is a much better lens. Also look at the nikon 35mm 1.8 dx lens.

Check the panasonic website they make a telephoto lens and loads of filters. Amazon sells most of the items. I feel like this camera can adapt to many more situations than many other brands in this catagory or price range.

I would go for the middle (B) range and not even interchangeable lens if not worthed. So: apart from price, loving fidelity in colours and proportions (I hate "postcard" photos), and speed, what between:Sony Nex 5NsOlympus E-PM1Panasonic GF3 (if better than G3, otherwise please tell me)?Any non interchangeble lens as worthed as those? (Olympus XZ-1?)Eventually, thanks a loT
