You can use Hasselblad V mount lenses on a Pentax 645 (with an adapter). I have used the Fotodiox Pro adapter. As adapters go, this one is relatively small/thin.

Of course, you can also use the Pentax 6x7 lenses on the Pentax 645 (with an adapter, I prefer the Pentax adapter). The Pentax 67 lenses are quite good and most are very affordable.

I needed a longer lens for the times when 150mm is not long enough on my outfit (GFX 50R rather than Pentax 645Z, but basically the same sensor). The Pentax 645 options are good, but I think the Pentax 67 200/4 that I just got is better. I bought it with the 1.4x teleconverter and the P67 to P645 adapter, for a very affordable price. Image quality of the straight 200mm is superb, and the 1.4x teleconverter is amazingly good; it creates an excellent 280mm lens. The only downside is the weight. It's big and heavy.

I liked the flexibility of having a 200/280mm lens. I've used it some more and it is a very good optic. I'm really quite impressed. However, the weight is something else. And, I've discovered that the way I'm using it creates a problem I didn't anticipate. It's not the fault of the lens, but on my Fotodiox Tilt ROKR P645 to GFX adapter, the design of the lens plus the design of the adapter gives me hard vignetting at around 8-9mm of shift, and after a few degrees of tilt. I wasn't expecting that because I've used wider P67 lenses on that adapter and they shifted fine. It's not a big deal because I'm not going to be using it with a lot of shift or tilt.
We'll see how often I actually carry the thing! It may end up being a lightly used optic...
