A wire frame should be quite accurate provided the hole at the eye-end is not too large. You don't have parallax correction but many viewfinders do not and those which do need input about the distance of the object to be photographed. You would have to input this manually because you do not have a rangefinder to do the job for you (it is coupled in many cameras.) Even my older Leica lacked this refinement; one learns to live without it with a fair accuracy.
