With a 35mm lens you could use a the SBOOI 50mm viewfinder. You would have to loosen the set screw and orient the framelines vertically(parallax marking useless of course). I do not know if you can do that to any other viewfinders. It would be easy to make up a L shaped accessory shoe to turn the finders 90 degrees (again no parallax compensation. There was an official half frame M camera, the MD-22 (no viewfinder) and I have jpegs of a M4-P half frame but who did the conversion I do not know.
