This should be a easy question.




Yes.

Just got a E-410 and new to photography. Want to know can any make lense go on my camera i.e Canon?




No.

Trying to be slightly more helpful, most camera manufacturers have developed their own lens mount design and they're not interchangeable. There are some adaptors available, but these aren't a useful solution for most people as they compromise the system in one way or another. What I think you want to know is that there are 'third-party' lens manufacturers such as Sigma, who make lenses in various fittings, so that you can choose to buy the lens suitable for your particular camera.

Edit: But Olympus is less well supported than, say Canon or Nikon, and this means that not all third-party lenses will be available to fit your camera - you'll need to check this out on a lens-by-lens basis.
