ZHi Richard!
 
I don't know about the Leica finder (though I cannot image it would by anything 
less than superb).

> Leica R 2x Viewfinder #14300

But, I own one of these little "doogers", and it fits the R8/R9 and SL series.  
Should be adapter to other cameras, though you'd have to try it, to be sure.

Optically, just fine.

I used to own a really poor r/a finder, but it did the job. Sure, there was a 
lot of "pinbarrel" distortion, but it only occurred in the finder, not the 
images.   It was good for focusing/composing, and the rest didn't matter.

When I was given the new r/a finder (above) I gave the old one way to a friend, 
who is still using it.

Just my 2 cents worth.

David.
