[pentacon/exakta] curtagon 40mm - a ghost lens?

[hankchinaski]

I know this lens exists, but…nobody sells it anywhere…Flickr has no photos made with it? What gives? Is the mir 69-b the widest lens for pentacon/exakta?

No answer to your question but I did notice this lens earlier today and wondered, 'Curtagon? Never heard of it!' And now twice in one day...

That one is for the 135 format I think.

Not quite a 'ghost lens', but not quite real (as in ready to shoot off the shelf) either. At the Pentacon Six website, the Curtagon story:
