That was the lens I had, except mine was the original one pin variety made
by Zeiss in Germany. Yours most likely is the two or three pin variety they
made for newer Rollei's than I had that had wide open aperture for metering
and later even auto exposure modes. If it performs like my older Zeiss
version you will be very happy with the lens. The German ones command a
premium price and the Singapore ones are much cheaper.

Subject: [LRflex] OT "Zeiss Tele Tessar" 135/4
Several asked what happened to the mystery lens from KEH.
fwiw, this lens arrived and I am sue you all recall that it was called a
Zeiss and it was mentioned it was also made for Takumar. When iI asked about
it by phone it was described as a screw mount, likely M42. Several members
offered opinions about it. it was on its way here. It arrived. So what was
it? On the lens it says Rollei TeleTessar 135/4 FHT, on the back mount,
engraved Made by Rollei in Singapore. No mention of Zeiss or Takumar and the
mount, not a screw mount, rather something else, likely QBM. Likely a fine
interesting lens in great shape, small, heavy, well made, glass looks
excellent, the adapter is coming soon.
