Hasselblad HC150N / HC210 - experiences?

[anyone]

Hi there,
I may want to complement my Hasselblad XCD lens lineup with a longer focal length. Since the XCD 135 is quite expensive, I'm thinking whether it makes sense or not to get Hasselblad H lenses. I want to be able to use my kit without tripod, hence I depend on the leaf shutter.

Does anyone have experience with the HC150N or HC210, preferably on a 907x body?
Thank you!

I have a 100HC (Orange Dot) and a 210 with a non-updatable firmware, which does not allow updating for AF. I am not sure whether there are 210s out which do autofocus with the X2D/907x. As I am not using that focal length often and if I do, I may even use a tripod and take my time, the lacking AF is not relevant for me.
Also, non Orange Dot lenses do not provide shutter speeds faster than 1/800. There are probably some other restrictions even with OD lenses. I guess that focus stacking with Phocus is not supported, but I have never tried.
So - in short the 210 is a nice lens for what it is and is essentially the only option, if you want shutter and aperture control with that focal length aside from the 135 + TC. I have no issues with the quality, especially stopped down a bit. Contrast is lower than XCD lenses. Manual focus is really manual and easy to operate.

I use my 150 mm N on my 907 100 c as a portrait lens. I liked the lens on H system so I start to use it on the 907 also. I use the 150 N also on Fuji 100S, becouse the H lenses with original Fuji adapter allows to use 1/800 speed with flash, so you can avoid the limitation of the 1/125 flash synchro of the Fuji.
The lens have nice bokeh, its not perfect wide open but useable, stopped 1-2 down becomes really sharp, for portraits is wide open the sharpness still OK, but when you need really sharp lens for product shozs you should start with 5,6. I compared the lens with Hasselblad 1,9-80 mm which I found the best lens for this system and afcourse the 1,9-80 mm is sharper wide open , has perfect contrast and no chromatic aboration that are visible at 150N but the 150N give simply more deepness...
It is not the perfect lens but for that price that the lens will be offered now it is a really good deal.
