I've been discussing digital photography/cameras with a kid I taught photography to many years ago. Now, he's teaching me about digital.
I think part of your blur problem is that you probably have those varying aperture zooms. 3.5-5.6? As you zoom, your aperture is getting smaller.

Only if the camera body is in "P", "S" and/or other program/dummie modes. In full manual mode, ("M") or Aperture priority "(A") mode, the aperture is locked and does not move as the zoom factor changes.
In your/my Evolt cameras, when the body is in "M" or "A" mode, there is no active electical connection to the aperture mechanisms thus no activity.

(SNIP) If that is the case, you can't open the aperture, as the salesman suggested, so you can't shoot faster.

When I (or anyone) use an adapter on my Evolt bodies (E500 & E510) to mount Pentax "K" mount lenses for example, there is utterly NO CONNECTION to the body at all.
That is: without a physical/electric (contact) connection, such a lens or its aperture CANNOT move (by definition)

As far as the zoom, I'm told the 150mm translates to a higher magnification when you try to compare it to the 35mm results. So, your 150 might be more like a 180.

On a 4/3rds body, the focal length of any mounted lens is double the stated focal length: so my Vivitar Series 1 (62mm filter) 70-210mm Canon FD lens becomes a 140-420mm lens on my Evolt 500.
