I have both the 150mm and 210mm Geronars and they a re great little lenses, I really got mine for portraits and haven't used them except for a few landscapes where they are excellent stopped down to f22.
Just looking at your camera/lens I don't think your Tessar is #1 Compur compatible as it's in an older Dial set Compur shutter.
Remember that the Geronars are budget Triplet lenses they were inexpensive new so don't pay too much for one. For $200 or the £/Euro equivalent you could get a decent 150mm Symmar or Sironar N in a modern Copal shutter.
