Yes and yes, if the deafult one/lack of thereof is an issue. It's worth the effort because it's nearly effortless beyond getting a donor viewfinder and callibrating/fine-tuning the fov and framing to match your lens/camera. Helps if you butcher a variable focal p&s i.e. 35-60mm like mine, 'cos you can precisely adjust the fov to match your [whatever] within the range. If you're not a retard and do it right it's a very convenient addition. I keep mine on a string around my neck to frame shots without even having to take the camera out - as a preview tool. Really fuckin' neat. Or just buy a KMZ turret multifocal viewfinder if you have the time, money and lack of skill/aptitude to dabble in DIY.

ebay? idk dude. that turret finder is a great aid for learning the fov of classic 35mm focals, I carry it around to try out which prime would be best for a shot I see. Also, obviously, great for rangefinder users.

I shoot film so I just adjusted the diy finder fov against the image the camera renders. I guess it'd be even easier for digicams.
