I thought at first that you had to have cropped that quite a bit but
then I dragged out the calculator which told me the horizontal field of
view could have been as small as about 2-1/2 inches at closest focus
with the 2X installed. A web search told me that the Takumar 55/1.8
focuses to 0.45 meter which is about par for 50mm standard lenses of the
era.
