I've been using R lenses on the L1 (same as E330) for two and a half 
years now - only the 24 Elmarit is a problem, but was on film beforehand.
Pity as it is compact and looks good on the L1

What I find most difficult on the L1 is the absence of an on-board 
anti-shake device (OIS on the kit lens).
Have you tried  using a tripod to check on the consistency of the poorer 
results?
