Looking to expand to a tabletop/product shot lens.

On my Sony system, I find myself using the 90mm macro and the 24-105 f4.

What would be a good equivalent lens for the H series?

Hey Andy, that would be the rather massive 120mm Macro.

For that purpose I get very good results, using the HC 80 i combination with the H1.7x teleconverter.

Or the 80 mm and the tilt and shift,
which i think is a magnification of 1.4 so that's 112 mm, ( or you could use it with the 100mm lens and that would be 140 mm )
and you get some movements, which might stop you resorting to  focus stacking so much. when you need every thing sharp.

HTS is x1.5 what gives 120mm with the HC80

Just bear in mind that non-macro lenses, especially those w/o floating elements, normally don't perform their best at minimum focus distance (MFD) - or less than with tubes.  It's why lenses like the stellar HC 50 II have the Hasselblad Macro Converter H to jack the MFD performance through the roof.

The HC 120, especially the Mod II (sharper & less CA), is a great lens and balances well on an H series. On the GFX the focus ring is a bit of a reach.

It really depends how much finer detail you need to capture - and where across the frame.
