The rollie/zeiss is NOT M42. It is the Rollie bayonet mount. I think it was called QBM or something like that. You would have to find an adapter for the Fuji or Sony.

so Frank, I want to be sure I’ve got it, this lens, a 135/4 takumar/ rollei /zeiss unit is basically an M 42 pentax screw mount lens ?
These adapters are available for both Fuji X and Sony A7.
Et voila…that’s it?
thank you
