Sanders, I guess you'll have to try it. 135mm x 0.7 = 94.5mm. Could be
good? Could have a lot of vignetting. Let us know....
John
PS photos are great. Depth of focus is excellent.

John, that's an interesting idea. And if I mount
my 0.7x Mutar on my Tele, I get ... something
like my 2.8E?
I shoot the Tele for portraits all the time. I find that
the 0.7 Rolleinar does not get me close enough
for a tight headshot. However, you can mount a
Bay III Rolleinar I on top of either Tele Rolleinar
and the combination gets you real close -- I use
the 0.35 Tele Rolleinar with a Rolleinar I all the
time, for photos such as these:

Apart from some vignetting (which does not bother
me) I find the combination very accommodating.

Although not recommended (or even mentioned by Rollei) a friend used a
Tele-Mutar (BayIII) on his Tele-Rolleiflex to get an approximate 200mm
lens.
The results were good, better than enlarging the standard Tele negative
to
the same magnification. The results did show some slight vignetting
which
probably would be eliminated by stopping down a little. Light conditions
did
not permit this though and they were only of buildings. Someone could
try
this combo for portraiture?
The other alternatives to taking out a bank loan to purchase a new
Tele-Rollei with close focusing are to use one of the Rolleinars (.35 or
.7)
for the old Teles which give head & shoulder and head shots
respectively.
