The 21mm comes with a finder.
The adapter runs about $50, or less depending on where you can get one.
Do not get a Chinese knock-off, under any circumstance.
The Skopar, in my experience, is far superior to the Leitz 21mm Super- 
Angulon F4 LTM.
Though it does have a bit of that Nikon glass from the 70's look.
S.d.
