Here is the Cameraquest statement about the finders, and nothing is said about incompatibilities. "Viewfinders: The super wides 12/5.6, 15/4.5, 21/4 and 25/4 lenses are sold ONLY with the viewfinders. Viewfinders for the 28, 35, 40, 50, 75, and 90 are sold separately. For info on the viewfinders and accessories, click here. Two 28mm viewfinders are made, one black and a new classic style chrome 28 viewfinder introduced with the 28/3.5. A new all metal 35mm brightline finder was also introduced in March 2003 with the 35/1.2. Likewise two different style 50mm viewfinders were produced, the standard chrome or black 50 brightline, and the 101 Heliar set 50mm brightline viewfinder. Voigtlander also makes a 40mm brightline for Leica CL or Minolta CLE owners who want to shoot their 40/2 on other M mount cameras. At PMA 2004 Voigtlander introduced the very compact 28/35 combination mini-finder. The mini-finder is especially good for the Leica M3, the screw mount Leica cameras, and the Voigtlander R3A and R3M. There are also special 12, 15, 21, and 25 viewfinders made just for the Epson RD-1."
