Satin Snow Ground Glass

Question for Richard Knoppow.

If one adds an available generic Fresnel lens, i.e., large plastic
reading magnifier, behind one's ground glass so as not to affect the
focus, what is the effect of neglecting to match the Fresnel
magnification/f.l. to the lens?

Is it just a matter of viewer convenience? It seems there are so many
issues with point of reference (i.e., sensitivity of view thru Fresnel
to being off-axis), so would a 'carelessly found' Fresnel add-on not
provide benefit?

I read an article that discussed the selection of Fresnel f.l. relative
to the lens, but people change lenses AND without a custom Fresnel
lens, there are few options for the experimenter.

Hi,

Where did you acquire the Satin Snow GG?
