Yes you can, but it will cost you more than the twin lens kit.
Olympus E-620 twin lens kit, 14-42mm and the 40-150mm £667.00
Olymus E620 £474.00 add to this 40-150 £237.99 total cost £711.99

Yes you can.
If you are mostly interested in landscape, the 14-42 would probably be more useful to you than the 40-150 ...but best to buy the twin lens kt if you can afford it.
Good luck. The E620 twin lens kit really appeals to me, I tried one in a shop and loved it, small, light, swivel LCD, really nice.

the high conversion factor of olympus (4/3) lenses means that that lens has a 35mm equivalent of 80 to 300, which is normal to close-up. While this could lead to some different and creative landscape stuff (for instance compression layers) (example), in general landscapes need a wider lens. As an example as a 4/3 user my main workaday lens is 14-42 (example) with quite a few wider shots on 9-18, (example), (example) and only rarely going to the longer end (42-150)
I have my grossly underused Olympus E510 listed on Ebay, with the Olympus Zuiko 35mm macro/general purpose lens, which gives 2X lifesize with no acessories. Included is the Olympus FL36 flash, 2 memory cards and an IR remote shutter release. All for buy it now of $650.00 USD. Do the math.
i have to say doing the math i think thats a bargain to be snapped up
