Subject: Viewfinder for 35 mm

Hi there,

I have a IIIf and a 2.8/35 summaron which gives
excellent picture quality. As a viewfinder, I have only
the pre-war VIDOM universal viewfinder, which has
the side-reversed image (I got that one quite cheap).
For the summaron, I would like to have a small, bright 
viewfinder with real image (not reversed).
I was told that the Leica 35mm viewfinder could cost
about 800-1000 DM (600 $). Thats more than the lens...
Any ideas? The old Leica viewfinders have quite horrible
prices, an old 21mm finder is about twice the price of
a new one (I think only 21 and 28 are still in production).
