Does anyone have a list of lenses that will work on an e300? How many different lens adapters are there? What are the possiblities?

All 4:3rds lenses will work on any 4:3rds body. There are a number of adapters for using legacy manual focus lenses (those with aperture controls on them). What adapter are you interested in using?

I figured as much on the 4/3 lens part.
The reason for my question is that I have found quite a few different used lenses for sale locally that are inexpensive. I am very new to this hobby (hence the E300, got a great deal on it). Anyways, I am still in experimental stages with photography, and don't need to spend a bank roll on lenses to just play around with them.
Are there adapters that will adapt say, a lense that fits a different brand body? ie: pentax to 4/3, nikon to 4/3 and so on? I would assume if at all, each different brand lens would have its' own adapter.

Yes, that is right. If you've got three lenses with three different lens mounts, then you'll need 3 different adapters.

ebay is a good place for adapters. You can get them very cheaply from SE Asia suppliers.
