Short answer - yes. I have not tried this lens on k-1 with tripod yet
but it is small enough to hand-hold and focus through live view although
I need to get used to "peaking" & I forgot to magnify the LV so more to
be done.
When I have manual focus tele (like rokinon or mirror lens) on K-5 I
tend to rock forward & back making focus hard to maintain at these
apertures. With k-1 it seem easier to maintain the plane. I have a
Vivitar 100-400 zoom I want to try out on K-01 with & without tripod.

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?
