Cheap gift for my K10D ...
... An Olympus PEN-F right angle viewfinder, bought for a few euros in a street market. The optical portion was fine, but the metal mask was (badly) adapted to a Contax camera viewfinder.
Now, after a little "dremelling", it perfectly fits the viewfinder of my K10D.

The ring on the body of the viewfinder allows to adjust the focus on the focusing screen (used some dust particles on the focusing screen as "target").
The cons: the image in the viewfinder is inversed, so is the viewfinder display (i.e. need to learn to read Leonardo Da Vinci writing) ...
The pro: i spent 20 euros in total, which is less than the cheapest angle finders on the "auctions site".
Now, i'm waiting to test it in "street level" photography ...
