I have posted about this before but was reading reviews etc and its saying there are no FourThirds lenses available for the Olympus E300 except Zuiko(sp) which are expensive?

or thier own 14-45 (28-90mm eq ) and 40 -150 which i have.

Can I not get a differing make or is it that nothing will fit?

Found the ZUIKO DIGITAL ED150mm F2.0 and just come roundfrom seeing the price!

I am in depserate need of a faster lense but Im wondering if I also should change camera?

Get very confused when looking at all the available items

From the Sigma site:

SIGMA,
CANON,
NIKON (D),
FOUR THIRDS

Where are you looking? You may need to go to a specific Sigma dealer to get the lenses

Unfortunately Sigma only do several 4/3rds mount lenses and none of them are very fast, apart from the Macro lenses which arn't really suitable for what you want.

To be honest I think the only lens "at a reasonable price point" that would just about do the job you want would be the Olympus ED 50-200mm F2.8-3.5, and even then the f/3.5 at the long end isn't ideal. I'd highly recommend you audition this lens before buying though just in case the f/3.5 dosn't cut it at indoor work... There may be other lenses that'll do the job, but I didn't come across any after a quick look through google

I hate to say this, but if that lens isn't good enough for your needs you may have to look into changing your system to Canon/Nikon

I was thinking of changing, but cost at the min is a factor, thanks for the help guys will have a bit of a think, and possibly hire that 50-200 lense to see whati ts like.

If you went for the 50-200, don't forget you'd get back some of the cost from selling your 40-150 which you probably wouldn't need anymore.
