The viewfinder screens for R8/9 are faily easily changed and Leica offer alternatives for the DMR. I have changed to a Leica uniform ground glass screen with grid divisions Part No. 14395. This screen is particularly good for telephoto work but can be used throughout the lens focal length range. The image just "shouts" at you when the subject wanted is in focus and my old eyes are not as good as they used to be! I have never felt the need for a magnifier for this camera.
