Based on theoretical assumptions alone, I would imagine it's a lot
easier to focus this lens on the K-01's live view, while at the same
time the lack of an EVF makes holding the camera steady harder, thus
making correct focus distance harder too. Do both of these cancel out,
thus making this lens as hard to focus correctly as on a mirrorfull
Pentax?
