Just look through the viewfinder. Add a padded rubber cup, if you wish.
It activates the lens’s stabilization and autofocus, which is immensely useful and something an adapter could never do. And the plastic crop bodies are cheap, and not that big/heavy.
You can also get right-angle adapters for the eyepiece, like:
I forgot about those right angle viewfinders. Good idea!
