Dennis,

Abrahamsson's modification is akin to the 35mm lenses for use on the
M3's.  What he does is mount those "eyes" onto the Super Angulon thereby
eliminating the need for an accessory viewfinder.  The 35mm "eyes"
widens the view of the camera's viewfinder from the 28mm view to a 21mm
view.  I have never seen one except for the pictures in the Leica M
Compendium.
