Robert,
Last year Rollei introduced two very ingenious
filter holders for the TLR, BIII and BIV.
This new accessory allows screw in filters to be
fitted to Bay III and Bay IV fit TLR cameras, and is
articulated, so that the filter can be used on either
the top or bottom lens.
The BIII filters holders can use 46mm filters and the
BIV 58mm filters and then you have a lot of filters
and auxiliaries lenses available for the Tele. I guess
the Tele Xenar will require a new lens hood.
The FT like the FW and the GX/FX cannot use the
Rolleikin, however I think you can use the Rolleifix
for the FT since you can use it for the FX and FW,
Rollei still manufactures the Rolleifix. The brochure
does not show a real camera.
I'm afraid the FT has the same viewfinder hood
regarding the FW, it does not allow eye-level viewing,
but the FX yes. It seems F&H wish you buy a prism.
In the old Rollei FAQ page they said there was the
intention about to manufacture a viewfinder hood
identical regarding the old Rollei Wide viewfinder
hood, but it was an intention only, at least til
today.
This is the new Rollei filter holder:

Clicking on the images you can see the filter holder
works.-
All the best
