I recently bought the Olympus EVOLT E-510 with 14-42mm / 40-150mm Lenses and i was wondering what are some other brands of lenses that could work with this camera. I'm also on a budget and i would like to do some marco as well as long range shots.. I'm really looking for maybe 2 or 3 lenses for the most at a good price. I am also considering buying a flash for this camera and would like to know if there are any cheaper models that i can buy..
Sigma probably has the biggest selection for the Olympus 4:3 lens system.

Could you help me in choosing which macro and long range lens to buy.. macro for flowers and insects and a good but not to far long range lens... Do you know of any sites where people trade in lenses and you can buy used lenses for Olympus E 510
The link I gave you has used photographic equipment for sale.
Click the "Used Equipment" button near the top of that page.
That link I gave you shows an excellent macro lens (2nd one down).
It is rated "life size 1:1", which is as good as it gets for macro.
I think you already have a good long range lens.
You have one that is rated 150mm.
When fitted to your camera, it sees that lens as being 300mm.
Few people need a focal length further than that.
If you are looking for bargain lenses, you are not likely to find many for your camera. Good lenses do not depreciate much.

Olympus makes 2 macro lenses under the Zuiko digital line. The 50 mm is fast and wonderful, but pricey (over 4 benjamins). The 35 mm is quite good, and much cheaper (<2 hundred). Unless you really start to push the envelope, you will be very happy with the 35mm.
