I have never looked through an RD and don't remember much about the QLs 
looked through, but rangefinder focusing is a skill. You get better at 
it after a while. Many of those cameras had F1.7 and 1.9 lenses and you 
can hold them still at lower speeds because of the lack of automatic 
aperture and mirror flipping and high inertia focal plane shutter. The 
Canons were very popular. You are more likely to be able to find one in 
good condition just because of their numbers. Use fast film.

Good article:
