back to basics
I got annoyed of 100% guess-framing so I finally found an answer: a peep-hole viewer made for front doors. It is very small as you can see. It will not fit in the neverready-case like the 25mm does, but I am convinced this will help me along.
It provides a circular fish-eyed image, but I can guess the rest.

Very nice! Compact, and the metal finish fits the camera well. A more extreme variant would be taking a Zorki, trashing the internal viewfinder and putting the front door lens' front and back elements in there instead.
I guess you could mask away some of the upper and lower parts for a more rectangular view, but it looks pretty practical as it is already. I had thought of doing that for the 21/f4, but then I got a finder for it.

The lower part of the finders view gets blocked of by the camera. That reminds me of the same happening on the upper side.
In a few weeks off to Valencia, Then I will put it in practice.

That is a nice mount that you made for the viewer.
I'm also using a door viewer as a viewfinder with a 16mm Russian fisheye that I mount on my Barnack Leicas. The door viewer actually has a larger field than the lens so I've masked the field of view to match the lens using black tape.

The mount is a sown-off mount from an old fan-type flash. Easiest and nicest way I guess.
