The Russians make separate 20mm, 35mm, and 85mm finders;  these are
frequently available from vendors like Brooklyn Camera and Bob Pins (both of
whom advertise they currently have them in stock).  I believe Active Camera
in New York also has some of the 20mm finders.

The Russians also make a reverse clone of the Prewar Zeiss 470 finder -- the
rotating-telescope job with 28 - 35 - 50 - 85 - 135.  Quite nice -- bright
and sharp.  And, being reversed, it actually works on a Leica -- this puts
its optical axis over that of the Leica lens mount.
