I recently bought a Olympus e-500. Do I have to use Olympus or Zuiko(sp?) lenses or can I use other lenses as well? Do I need adapters ect...? |

You need adapters if you are to use lenses not designed for the camera or Olympus OM lenses.
What will you be shooting? |

Any 4/3 lens will attach just fine and should work pretty much perfectly. For any other type such as a Cannon lens, you will need an adapter. |
