lens for olympus

[honkytonkmama]

I have a e-410. The lens that came with it sucks in low light. I am due in march, and I want a new lens (or two) before then.

Do you have a lens ( or two, or three) you love? Why, and where did you get it?

This pretty much sounds like all kit lenses. The fastest lens for low light in the 4/3rds mount will be the Sigma 30mm 1.4. I've tried three different copies and all had focusing issues. There are others on the boards that have this lens and have great photos to show, but I'm not that lucky. If you stay with the Olympus brand try the 50mm 2.0 very fast and sharp.
I have the 410 kit and it came with the 14-42 & 40-150 . The 14-42 is probably one of the best kit lenses on the market today ( of course this is being said by a person who likes Olympus ).
In the future I plan to add the 11-22 and upgrade to the E-3.
Here's a website to look at www.four-thirds.org. It has a matching simulation for camera/lens combo. The Sigma 24mm 1.8 has received good ratings and might be something to look into.
