I do found there is magic on some lenses, so far I found the 75-150 and
180/2.8 the best lens for portrait. I have used the 85/2 a lot in the pass
(because this was the only short I have at that time), but all with
negative, they are also fine but can't comment on the color. But the 75-150
do provide creamy and saturated color, resolution is not bad either, as a
multi elements single coated lens it may not perform well in backlight, the
distortion of this lens at both end is also very high, but for portrait it
is excellent especially in studio where you don't need to care about the DOF
effect. Because at F4 you need to use the longer end of this lens to get
better out of focus effect.
