Pentax 645 A 120 Macro vs 645 A 150 For portraits

Has anyone used any of these 2 lenses? Just wanted to see if one is better than the other. I am going to use them on my Hasselblad X1D2 with the Pentax adaptor Thank you

I have not used the 150mm A-series lens, but 120mm Marco. It is a great lens and very sharp at all apertures. I understand the A 150mm has a good reputation. Personally, I might look at the minimum focus distance you would like to use. If further than 1.4 m, then both lenses are good options. If closer, than the Macro.

I have used both lenses on the 645Z I had about 3-4 years ago. I still have the 120 macro and have sold the rest when I moved to GFX system back then.
They're both wonderful! Considering how absolutely inexpensive they've gotten in today's market, you could probably get both! The 120 macro doubles up as a portrait lens and naturally can focus really close! I cannot quite believe this beauty was only fetching $200 when I tried to sell it and so, I decided to keep it! There is nothing wrong with the 150 but it isn't versatile like the 120. The 120 is sharp and makes wonderful portraits.

Really hard to say!
I love the sharpness of the A120 macro, but I also love the "dreamy" look of my FA150, especially at f2.8!
