Yes. I have 21mm, 28mm and 35mm auxiliary finders. I use the the finders with the 'right' lenses on the M3 and M4-2, and the 28mm finder with the 21mm lens on the M8. I can accept the looseness involved in composing like that, but the M8 framelines are just plain wrongly set. They've corrected it on the M8.2 and they will happily take your money to 'upgrade' the M8.
