Best budget lens for the olympus om d e m1 mark iii?

For a budget pick on the OM-D E-M1 Mark III, I'd start with a standard zoom. The Panasonic Lumix G 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II and the Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ both frame like 28-84mm on full frame, which covers most everyday shooting. If you want a bit more reach, the Panasonic Lumix G 12-32mm f/3.5-5.6 is also a light option.

Once you've got a zoom, I'd add a fast prime for low light and portraits. The Olympus M.Zuiko 25mm f/1.8 frames like 50mm on full frame and is the kind of cheap, sharp lens I'd rather you buy than a pricier body.

I'm not listing prices here, so check current ones before you buy. The reasoning behind this split is in your first camera.
