But there are Zeiss-Jena lenses made for Pentacon Six system, which is the same mount as the Kiev66 I believe.
Yes, and they're very nice lenses, too. I've done side-by-side comparisons of Zeiss Jena P6, Hasselblad and Mamiya M645 lenses on EOS 20D and 5D, for focus distances of about 1.5 and 7 metres (lenses are listed below). When stopped down, they're all fine lenses, with similar centre and edge sharpness (on the DSLR bodies). In practice, my ability to achieve consistent manual focus is the limit on performance, rather than the lens itself, even when wide open. The biggest differences between these lenses are weight and cost. I decided to go with the Mamiya M645 system for my EOS bodies, but you can't go wrong with Zeiss Jena P6 or Hasselblad.
Here's the lenses I tested (but not at maco distances):
Mamiya-Sekor 645 C 45/2.8 N
Hasselblad Distagon T* CF 50/4
Pentacon 6 Flektogon 50/4 MC
Mamiya-Sekor 645 C 55/2.8 N
Hasselblad Planar CF T* 80/2.8
Pentacon 6 Biometar MC 80/2.8
Mamiya-Sekor 645 C 80/2.8 LS
Mamiya-Sekor 645 C 80/2.8 N
...and here's some P6 links that may be of interest:
