Hi guys, got myself all confused over finding a lens so I can do some lowlight photography of gigs in a nightclub. I understand I need a low f stop for the low light levels, but as I'm still fairly new to the whole body & lens system I've got myself muddled.
I have an Olympus E-300 with the stock 14-45 and 40-150 lenses. The problem is that they are both poor in low light conditions due to a max aperture of 3.5. Having read up on it a little, it seems I need something in the region of 1.8 to 2.0. I have found this lens but am struggling to find much more to fit a four thirds Olympus, especially with a faster aperture speed. This could be down to me knowing very little and not knowing what to search for or perhaps I should make do with an adaptor kit to a more common lens? Any advice at all would be great as I'm kind of going in circles on my own.

So it would seem the flash is the important part to begin with. I do want to upgrade to a more modern system, unfortunately, a newer camera isn't an option at this point in time.
