Greetings Clive & all, 

This sounds a lot like the kit for close-up work with
the Omegaflex.  I've got all the pieces thereof,
acquired separately.

Clive, the eye-level viewer is a
pseudo-pyramid-shaped, loupe-like device which fits
onto the ground glass assembly.  It has an eyepiece on
the small end which I believe has 2.8x magnification,
vs. 3x for the reflex viewer -- or vice-versa.  

RE the spacers, those described by Maurice have the
same thickness as the Omegaflex spacers (though of
course a much different design).  Can anyone post a
quick primer/reminder on exposure adjustments when
using these spacers?  Or am I confused -- maybe no
adjustment is necessary? 

Maurice, maybe you have a manual for the kit that
addresses this?
