What would be a good camera lense for the Olympus e-520 ?
I just bought an olympus camera, and the lense is a Zuiko Digital 14-42mm 1:3.5-5.6. I hate the lense because the Manual Focus on it doesn't really do much justice or capture very well. I was wondering what would be a decent and in-expensive lense for this camera, with good manual focus and captures more crisp pictures.
Oy...
Olympus was not a good choice in terms of extensibility of the camera through add-ons.
The cameras that have the most available and least expensive quality lenses available (new or used) are
#1) Canon (450D/XSi, 400D/XTi)
#2) Nikon (D40, D90)
I would take a look at this lens - but it might not be more crisp or easier to focus... just more versatile in terms of focal ranges.

18-180mm covers a very wide focal range for most purposes.
If however you are looking at getting into studio-set, controlled lighting, portrait or product photography... I would look at:
Olympus E 50mm f/2.0 Zuiko Macro Lens 1:2

The 50mm lens will not have any zoom capabilities (you will have to actually move closer or farther away, physically) but will be very crisp.
If budget is no problem, I would get this:
Olympus ED 35-100mm f/2.0 Zuiko Zoom Lens (over $2000)
