All PP are allowed , just try to show your best from these old beauties if lens is uncommon please post a lens portrait too
Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 18cm f2.8 military lens made for Leica screw mount in 1941 I don't know if any other exists than this copy.
Taken with SONY NEX-3 straight from camera wide open and f8 , no PP just convert from RAW to JPG.

Nice photos of a very pretty girl!
Here are a few of my favourites.
Helios 44-2. Inexpensive lens but such a great performer.
Pentacon 135mm 2.8
Nikkor-P 105mm 2.5, non-Ai version from, I think, the 60s.

wow, that's some fantastic portraits, amazing light in the eyes, great focus, colors, lens performances too
these samples sure will make me remember to try for 'catchlight' in the eyes, I have bot had it often but e.g. in this recent portrait ( already shown in the portrait contest thread )
S-M-C Takumar f1.4/50mm
this one is taken with an older lens, a Takumar f2/58mm
a lens I should use more often for portraits

I have shown those in another thread already:
My son (b&w, out of cam)
My daughter (colour, our of cam)
Leitz Summitar 2/5cm @ NEX-3
I love the very special bokeh of that lens. It's hard to describe, some kind of "creamy swirl".

Here are some Potraits with an 150 years old "Hermagis" lens:

That's a nice swirling bokeh
Making my own ambrotypes is a big dream at the moment... the problem is that it's very hard to get clean collodium and diethylether by a legal way in Germany.

How old is "vintage"?
Is a Minolta MC Rokkor PG 50mm F1.4 already vintage?
It's ~30 years younger than Attilas Zeiss
