Good Day!!

I think that the Steinheil lens in question should be OK-- but not of
Leitz or Zeiss quality-- Steinheil was always a "less expensive" lens
brand, making lenses for a host of "less expensive" cameras.  I tested a
few on Kodachrome for Exacta mt some years ago, and thought they were
"adequate",  but nothing I'd care to own.

I think the Komura 2X should be perfectly dreadful.  The 2X in
conjunction with the Sreinheil should be really awful.

The finder might be a fun thing to have, however.
