Not all rangefinders can do this, unfortunately. The cheap way to an
multi-view 'turret' finder is one of the Russian copies - around $65 will
get you a 35/50/85/135 unit and sometimes one with 28 as well. They're
reputed to be one of the copies that are equal to, if not better than the
original. Of course, most people just use a zoom nowadays.
