Good SLR Lens: Camera and Photo

I've read positive and negative reviews about SLR lenses in general. I decided to try this, the cheapest way to get to 300mm with Micro 4/3. This is manual focus and fixed aperture. It turns out to be easy to use. I think "record without lens" was already checked. So all I had to do was set the aperture priority to f/6.3. There are several ways to zoom in to help with manual focus. I like the left button on the controller and then the center (on my Panasonic G10 this may be different on other Micro 4/3 cameras). Pictures are surprisingly good even handheld if the shutter speed is fast enough (1/500 second). The contrast is better than I feared. I used to have a film SLR where each lens had a manual focus. It felt natural, almost nostalgic. I was surprised. Daylight results of any landscape that is very far away or something close but with a very soft background are very good. However, you know that fuzzy points of light turn into donuts instead of circles with any specular lens. So choose your scenes.
