Are the mounts for Pentacon Six, Exakta 66, and Kiev 60/88CM lenses interchangable with Hassleblad V series lenses, or are they apples and oranges?

Depends on the models you are looking at, the Kievs have been made with various mounts over the years and NOT all of them are compatible.

The Kiev 88 (and/or Salut) used a screw type lens mount similar in design to the original 1600F/1000F Hasselblad mount. There are mixed reports about lens interchangebility between the early Hassleblads and the Ukrainian screw mount cameras.

My Kiev and Arsat 88CM lenses and my Pentacon 6TL lenses (CZJ and Schneider) are not compatible with my Hassleblad 500 C/M. The Pentacon 6TL and Kiev 88cm lens mounts are breech lock mounts rather than the screw type mounts used on the Salut and Kiev 88.

In my experience the German (Pentacon mount) lenses will often work on the Ukrainian CM mount cameras and vice versa (but some individual lenses will not work without modification).

sorry, I jumped the gun - please ignore my previous post as they are generally NOT compatible.
