Contrast levels can be controlled by lighting and how it's employed to
either deepen or fill shadow. Some might object to its sharpness
(partially a function of its contrast), but that can also be modified.
Personally, I'd rather have a lens that excels in these criteria and then
work to tone them down if that's desired. It is impossible to increase
these if they don't already exist in the optics.

slightly different here, when I see the high contrast slides (my own
portrait) by the 35-105, I immediately sold it

Hmmm.... maybe I should have somebody take MY portrait with my 35 - 105
before I go on raving about it so much. I doubt I'd be happy with the
results, regardless of the lens used.
For what I use the 35-105 for (the Great Northwest out-of-doors), it's
TERRIFIC.
