In my younger years, 135mm WAS the portrait lens for 24x36 cameras.
Everyone wanted one :-)
Me too.
I had a Takumar 2.8 I think, which I loved.
Then a Zuiko,
Etc.

I must have missed that memo. Do you suppose it was you - or I - who was experiencing a different portrait lens milieu back then? Local vs. global? America vs. Europe?

I did, in fact, make some portraits I quite liked by catching people unaware with my 80-200 zoom at/near the long end, but at some subject angles, perspective compression was a problem. Profiles were best, as I recall.

I do have the OMZ 135 lenses, but seldom found use for them. The f2.8 seemed great for the combination of reach and speed, in theory . . .
