Except the Leica R4, probably on account of them being based on the same body/chassis, but not sure how much if any of that relates to pentaprisms/focusing screens etc. Viewfinder magnification is very similar and larger than most cameras which accounts for the larger image and there fore easier focusing.
I always found the R4 to have one of the best, if not the best, viewfinder for focusing wide angle lenses and especially when fitted with a later focusing screen, from R6/7 bodies which where brighter yet easy to focus accurately. That\'s why I still have it as it has a place even compared to the R8/9, which is also great for accurate focusing, but with a smaller image magnification. The R4 is a great camera for wide angle lenses that are otherwise harder to focus accurately.
