Thanks Robert. The film is Fomapan 100. It is a little out of my comfort zone.
I usually use Fomapan 400, but I had some lying around and I was as interested
in getting the film loaded correctly (and possibly not) as I was in the
results. So I used a roll I felt I could waste. I developed it in Xtol (almost
everything in Xtol).
I had a T. I bought it from Todd Belcher, but it was junk. Not the T's fault,
it is just that the one I got was junk. It is unusable and not worth repairing.
But I too had heard they had a really good Tessar.

Daniel,
These look very good. What film did you use? My experience with Rollei
Tessars has been with T’s, three of them, and they have all been very good.

I've wanted a decent Tessar for years, but despite 3 attempts at a
Rolleiflex, I never really got one that lived up to the reputation that many
claimed for it ... and I knew they were probably right.
Tessars were made in the 100 of thousands. They could get beat up on their
way.
When an Ikoflex from a camera repairman I use turned up ... I gave it a shot
...
First roll through.
