Looks like ISO 400 on my D70. BTW, I have not handled a Leicaflex, or an R8/R9 so I dont know, but I do have an R 6.2, and several of the Nikon F series, and the Nikons definitely have better viewfinders, bright, 100% with good eye relief. I know nothing about the Canon line so I am mum on that one.
