This guy (Kevin Ing) seem to have tested a lot of lenses for the Pentacon, Kiev, Exakta MF bayonet - including a 3.5/60mm Curtagon. Photodo rates this one at only 2.9.
http://kievaholic.com/LensTestsNormal2/index.html#Limitations I'm not shure about his email, though, but this site has many of the member adresses: http://www.kievaholic.com/kievaholics.html As far as I know it's a very good lense recipe. The 80m lenses for Exakta are excellent, even thoug not quite as good as the Xenotar. But better than the Schneider Exakta and the CZJ Biometar. It is possible to buy a shift adapter for these MF lenses - I geuss for use on 35mm cameras - I'm not sure - but I saw one on ebay recently (one week ago).

I had a Schneider-Kreuznach PA-Curtagon 1:4/35 shift lens in Pentax screw mount for a few years, it was a great performer and very compact for a shift lens though I never did any formal testing.
