I experimented with Live View on my 510 the other day, and, though I was using a tripod and shooting close up, I was surprised at how sensitive the manual focus was on my Zuiko 14-54. It may be much better on your Leica R lens. I have not yet tried it with a manual Pentax lens, but hope it will be more like focusing with a film SLR.
