Why don't you just get a cheap 3rd party flash like a Yongnuo for less than a $100, unless flash is not allowed. Good luck

Have a look at the Oly 25mm f1.8 or the 45mm f1.8. Both are $400 CDN in Canada.

I don't know what "the usual kit lens" is, but I agree with mcveed about the Olympus 25mm f/1.8. I use it on my Olympus PEN-F and it is sharp and good in low light.

How much is "not a lot to spend?" For about $500 you can buy a used 12-40 f2.8 which is an excellent lens or perhaps any of the several prime lenses made by Olympus or Panasonic with an aperture of f1.8 if that is what you really need.
The majority of those lenses have very attractive prices in the second hand market.

Look at Samyang/Rokinon lenses. They have both manual focus and auto focus (just 2--50mm F 1.4 & 14 mm F 2.98) they have several F 1.4 manual focus lensesj
