Contax II external finder

[pb908]

can anyone tell me what external finder will work with II ?
I have t.o.c zoom finder (28-135mm), it has vertical paralax adjustment, but not horizontal.
using this finder in IIa have no problem as the shoe centered on the lens axis, while the II have offset horizontally.

I have googled around and as far as I know, event a KMZ turret finder (the left/right type) have the selected optic lens inline with the shoe position, but not to the lens mount position of the camera. cmiiw (I don't have any, but some said the right hand turet finder is for KIEV, but when I see the picture, the optic is inline with the shoe, not the lens mount, so I believe there should be a horizontal paralax problem as well)

any idea/help? thanks !!

The small offset should not be a problem unless you are working really close-up. At that point, I think you are looking at making your own mask. The Retina finder for the 35/80 is offset, and is what I use. But... it overshoots to the right almost as much as the accessory shoe is too far to the left.
