My experience with another make of camera is that the makers' add on
lenses are pretty good. And Olympus' past converter lenses have a
great reputation even finding use on the end of DSLR lenses with an
adaptor. I would not worry about the quality.
One thing I found though is that mine are not much used. Not because
of quality, but I find that the built in lens covers more than 95
percent of my own photo shooting.
If you get the E-500 you will never use them, if you are anything
like me, and your use of the 5060 will go way, way down.
