Thank's Don, just order placed. I used to have one on my Leica/Voigtlander 15mm Heliar and it worked well from memory, but that was a long time ago. US$70 seems like a good price so I'll give it a shot.

I thought Voiglander used to do a 75mm VF but any Voigtlander viewfinder is hard to come by at the moment from what I've seen.

I have the Voigtlander 75mm VF for the DP3 Merrill. It's fine but no substitute for real a VF (optical or electronic) with a proper built-in display. I wish Sigma would finally realize this blatantly obvious fact.

If somebody is good at accurate metal work, they could make a custom baseplate in order to use the loupe for the fp on a DP_M. I held mine up against the DP3M screen and it looks good.

Maybe the loupe for the dp Quattro cameras could also be used. I don't have one to try.

If you don't wear spectacles, there are some crappy cheap loupes with plastic lenses available, but the eye relief isn't enough for spectacle wearers and the image quality is poor.
