I got a couple of concepts mixed when I made this statement.  If you have
an aftermarket viewfinder which fits in the shoe, you don't have to offer
options because the correct distance is 1/30 of the focal length and the
focal length of your viewfinder is fixed.  I mixed it up with the SLR case 
where you would have to change the spacing of the lines on the ground glass
to match the focal length of the lens you put on the front of the camera.
Sorry for adding to the confusion.
