You will find several variations in focal length 35-180 and 35-200. Also, there are some Japanese knock-offs that work very similarly. If you want to go down to 28 on your LTM then look for one of the Russian knock-offs of the Zeiss turret finder. With glasses I find the TEWE superior to the turret as all the views through the turret are somewhat small. All of the above have parallax correction but the Russian is a little crude. Prices at the camera shows is something between $60 to $125 depending on whether the seller knows anything about finders As much as I have wanted to like the Leica variable finders the only one I like is the new 21-24-28 which views much like the TEWE. Last point, for the best view, spend the bucks on the bright line finders. You will as likely find me with a collection of 28, 35, 50, 135 as the TEWE because I tend to take the LTM's out with only one lens and looking through the bright lines is maybe better than an M6 at 35-50 frame lines.
