Contax T2 viewfinder help

Hey,
I'm really interested in 35mm compact cameras at the moment and have recently bought a Contax T2. Im really enjoying the results of it so far but finding it really hard to get used to the viewfinder compared to my DSLR and another camera I use, the Yashica T4.
My problem is that the viewfinder has a 'crop' area which really puts me off my composition. My other cameras are much like a 'what you see is what you get' kind of viewfinder. I don't have horizontal or vertical lines on the Contax T2 to help with framing, only four corners which I am finding really hard to get used to!
If this is normal, excuse me and ill try my best to get used to this new format but please share with me anyone's experiences from switching!
Thank you!
John
