You're on your own there. I prefer a 21mm lens over a 24, but it's a 
personal choice.

It's just expensive and not particularly good. If/When I go for a 
21mm, I'll just use my Heliar 15 viewfinder. It's for a 15mm lens but 
it's only 83% coverage, which means it will likely be just about full 
coverage for a 21. :)
