My very early (chrome) Tele-Elmarit 90/2.8 works absolute magic on
portraits. I also have the Elmarit and Summicron 90's, but there is
something about the Tele that makes faces glow. For just about everything
else needing a 90mm, I use the Elmarit. The Summicron is an old SOOZI
thread-mount, so once in awhile I put it on a IIIg and look for someone to
take me for a spin in their MG-TD. But if they ever showed up, I would have
to take their portrait with the Tele-Elmarit!
