The Hy6 is amazing and that Planar ƒ2 is great as well.  If you're primarily interested in that lens you might find it worthwhile to expand your search for a Hasselblad 2xxx camera.  I think there are just more of them and you'll spend a lot less on the 110mm. 

IMHO the Hy6 Mod 2 is the one to get, and the AF lenses along with it.  The Schneider glass was sublime.  That 110 is no slouch, a real gem...but for whatever reason in Rollei world it's cost is out of control.  There is also an 80/2 Xenotar but I found it slow to focus and generally inferior to the AFD 2.8.

I've spent time comparing the 110/2 for Hasselblad and the 110/2 for Rollei and think they are different optically with the Rolleiflex version being superior.  I don't think this is true for all Zeiss glass made for multiple systems but specifically the 110/2.   At minimum the Rollei version has better baffelling in the rear, but I think because of the Rollei internal electronic shutter they are also different in other ways. One thing for sure, the 110/2 for Hasselblad are much more common and as pointed out, less expensive than the Rollei version by a multiple.  The 110/2 for the Rollei is (also IMHO) different from the other Zeiss glass for the Rollei system.  It's quite sharp wide open even though DOF is paper thin, and has different character to the bokeh than is typical of the other Zeiss focal lengths.  When I started shooting with the Rollei system, the 110/2 was my favorite lens. There were several small changes in the production of it for Rollei with the last one (4th?) having a square rear shroud and is rumored to be the best.  I've only tested that version.
 
ps. I don't have any 110/2 for sale and haven't for a long time.
