     I had kept my search for the +0.5 limited to Hoya and Tiffen, so I did not 
see the Hasselblad items.

     Some time ago I bought one of those inexpensive 5=piece extension tube 
sets.  I never used it as the flanges did not fit tightly enough to suit me.  
But, if I just screw together the two flange pieces I end up with an extension 
tube that is less than 10mm long.  This might be a practical alternative.

     And yes, I do have a set of reversal rings.  I found that method to be 
severe overkill for my needs, which usually entails the need for a full frame 
photo of a small flower.

     I might have a copy of Shaw's book.  I'll have to look later.
