Nathan,
Same here.  Bought the VC 21mm VF last year for the ZM 4.5/21mm on my M6.
Works well, quite bright, but the Zeiss lens has less distortion!
  Only finder I would rather have is the old Zeiss Ikon Stuttgart one for
the Contarex 21mm (I think) which has another flash shoe on top.

I also have and use the VC 21mm finder. Not the optical excellance of a
Zeiss or Pentax external finder but it is certainy capable enough to do the
job and its available for relatively less cost.
