Leitz came out with their first SLR in 1964, the original Leicaflex.
This was a sturdy if rather unoriginal design. The lightmeter was an external CdS cell built into the pentraprism that metered approximately the same view as a 90mm lens. But because the meter was not through-the-lens (TTL), if you had a wide- or long-lens on your camera (not to mention filters), the metering was not quite accurate. There was also limited meter-to-lens communication, which was not that convenient.
The worst aspect of the original Leicaflex was its non-matte focusing screen, which (while bright) could not be focused in non-central areas.
After the Leicaflex SL (1968-1974) was the SL2 the third iteration which came out in 1972. The SL2 added a split-image rangefinder focusing area in the viewfinder, which many think made focusing easier (many also prefer the SL's microprism).
