When using wide-angle lenses on the Ikon rangefinder camera, users may want to pick up a ZI Viewfinder from ZEISS in order to ensure accurate framing. This optical finder is designed to demonstrate the perspective of 18mm lenses, which provide a wider angle of view than the Ikon's integrated rangefinder. Photographers can use this to check framing while the rangefinder can be used to confirm focus. Also, it easily attaches to the camera's hot shoe.

Brighter than bare eyes!!

Probably due to its nature of wide-angle, this viewfinder is brighter than bare eyes!! I have yet owned the Leica Super-Elmar-M 18mm, which I bought this finder for, but I can't help but looking through this finder from time to time, just to enjoy its brightness!!
Viewfinder adapted with 15mm & M8.2

I use last model with fine bright lines and my Voigtlander 15mm. Usually, the brightlines of the external viewfinders show 10% less than the pictures taken. So I made lot of tests and I buy a a 18mm and not a 20mm like all people say with a 15mm lens on an M 8.2 to make a 21mm view on the pictures !

question
I have the Ziess 18mm f/3.5 for nikon which i use for landscapes. Can I use this viewfinder as a composition finding tool. For example instead of taking my camera and lens to frame up compositions can I just take this and get the same view, and be comfortable the shot would look the same when taken with the 18mm lens
The Zeiss Z1 Viewfinder is designed to work with the Zeiss Ikon Camera and will not work with a Nikon camera.

Is there a magnification difference between the 15, 18, and 21mm finders? In other words, could I frame an 18 by going outside the framelines on a 21mm finder or get 15mm by going outside the lines on an 18mm finder?
Yes, there is a difference in the perspective in the ZEISS ZI Viewfinders, between the 25/28, 15, 18 and 21mm.
