Just got an Jupiter-12 for my Zorki and I'm wondering does it make sense to get one of those Russian universal rotary viewfinders.
Are they good or just too small?
Maybe i will be better with a VF-1 for that price - it should be the same equivalent and will match also on my E-p2 and m.zuiko 17 
What do you think?
The price for the russian thing is about 25 Eur.

And how do you find it?
Is it big enough like the zorki internal viewfinder?
On my Zorki4 the viewfinder is absolutely wonderful - big and clear.. unfortunately only for the 50mm.

I have been looking at these for a while, even peeped through one once... I used a Japanese 'tele-wide' finder with my fed/j-12 which worked well, bright and 'brightline' and accurate enough. It looked like the finders you get with the usual tele+wide auxiliary lens sets for fixed lens cameras.

I was nearly set on buying a Russian turret, but found a Canon Universal 35-135 at a low price so bought it instead. I'll post my impression when I receive it.

It's ok I can't compare with other external finder, smaller than Zorki4 internal finder, bright enough to use it.

I was very impressed with the build quality of it too. Leica-like.
