I have a Leicaflex SL and it has the best viewfinder I have seen on any SLR. I
use the circle in the middle or just the whole screen, so in that respect I do
not find it different from other SLRs, all the ones I have owned or tried have
had some kind of focusing aid in the middle.

Yes, aside from the metering problem you can use any Leicaflex lens on an R
body. There is no damage from it.
