Regarding 21mm finders, I've seen a couple of dealers selling an inexpensive japanese Avenar (sp?) 21mm finder.  It's under $100.  The Contax G viewfinder is much pricier - local dealers didn't have them in the price book, so I ordered one directly from Contax (Yashica) USA in New Jersey.  Expensive - $245 plus shipping.

P.S.  the two shops I saw the inexpensive finder are Camera Bug and Adolf Gasser, both in San Francisco.
