Help finding a lens..

Ok my E-510 arrived today, it came with 2 lenses, zuiko 14-42mm & 40-150 which I know isn't good for bird photography..

Now here is my problem, I can only find one lens at 300mm, the Zuiko -
I had heard Sigma did some four thirds lense, a 300 & 400mm, but for the life of me I cannot find any for sale in the UK, granted I have only checked ebay, amazin, ebuyer etc but only sigma 300 & 400mm they sell seem to only be for canon or nikon...

Re: Help finding a lens..

Sigma do two, affordable, long telephoto lenses for four thirds cameras, the 135-400 and the 50-500.

Both are good lenses, if you can run to it go straight to the 50-500.

You could also consider buying the ZD 50-200 and either the 1.4 x teleconverter or the 2 x teleconverter, these are good but quite expensive options.

I have all of the above, bar the 2 x teleconverter, and use the 50-500 most.

I hope this helps.

Dave
