I actually have the Komura adjustable viewfinder which was normally sold with the teleconverter. The reason I needed it was because I picked up a 200mm 4.5 Komura lens coupled for screw Leicas, and didn't have any 200mm finders about my person. I got the V/F thru the simple expedient of telexing the CEO of Komura in Japan and explaining my problem. Much to my surprise he replied by return, and a few hundred yen later I was the proud possessor of the appropriate widget. If Komura still exist, it's worth a try going to them direct. Good luck.
