<< Kyle, Wow.  Don't see that in the art museum every day.  The only one I've
 heard of is called the Budd-Mornay finder, described in Marc Small's book
 on LTM lenses.  If I recall, it was just what you have in mind.  It was
 made for LTM cameras, but probably could work on an M - if you ever found
 one.

Leitz WL finders (for LTM): AUFSU (50mm), AHOOT (28/50mm), AYOOC (35/50mm)
Of course you can't rangefinder focus with them.  A nice WL camera is the 
Yashica 635, basically a 120-rollfilm TLR camera with a removable 35mm 
conversion (like the Rolleikin, only lots less $$) and a nice sharp 75mm lens 
that's a good portrait length in 35mm.
