When I had them both I would just use the whole finder. This worked pretty well, but I tended to wear contact lenses with this combo.
I would like to get a copy of the CV 25mm again...it was great for shooting from the hip on film...and thje M8 actually has a frameline for it...the clickstopped focus ring on the LTM version was really cool, too.

I´d not bother with an accessory finder, but use the full frame, Its probably not far off. (I do this with the 21/f4, without problems, even if the finder doesn´t quite cover the whole frame)

I bought a 35mm finder to use on my R-D1 with a 25mm lens, but I never actually bothered. The whole built-in finder is good enough, and let's me focus and frame at the same time. I use a Canon 25/3.5, so RF focusing is possible. For the non-RF-coupled CV Snapshot Skopar, an external finder is probably much nicer. Get a 28/25 CV minifinder and you can use it for both 21mm and 25mm lenses.
