Yes, Voigtlander/Cosina is one option, but one that is 
lesser known is the Nikonos 80mm viewfinder.  It is 
quite a bit less expensive than the former, and provides manual parallax correction.

I have found that with experience, it is quite easy
to imagine the area covered with a 75mm lens, and I
use 75mm without a separate finder with little problem.
