The P5 won't beep because it's a manual focus camera. What you can do, though, is take advantage of the split-screen focusing screen (I believe it has one) to verify that the image is in focus, and get a diopter appropriate for your eyes.
Once you get that taken care of, the lens should be quite easy to use in Av or M mode
