Which lenses support AFC on X2Dii?

Not yet, at least. I have read the the older lens focusing gears may not be able to stand up to the rigors of the continuous auto focus. Apparently that also applies to the 20-35E which is a head scratcher since it the most recent released lens before the 35-100E. Maybe further firmware updates will be able to marginalize the perceived (at least for now) wear issues. It's a shame - but the AF-S still works on those and the 80 and 65 are such superb lenses.
I should add that the 35-100mm is also AF-C capable but not included in that firmware update referenced above. Also, from Hassy support, "AF-C is not available when using the electronic shutter. This cannot be enabled for other lenses through future firmware updates. In low-light conditions, autofocus performance may decrease due to reduced light reflection from the subject. The lens focus difference is not obvious, please note that it depends on your focus object."
I wrote to Hasselblad support a while ago, but I think their release notes now lists in the notes, supported lenses.
