The 25mm snapshot skopar from Voigtlander could fit the bill.  It gives very
good results indeed.  I noticed that Johnny Deadman has a used one for sale,
why don't you drop him a note?

Note that the 25mm  won't couple with the rangefinder - you have rely on a
bit of guesswork and DOF, but don't let that put you off.  If take a look at
my site, you'll see at least one shot in the Architecture gallery that was
taken with the 25mm on a Bessa R.
