A very good performer is the Takumar 1,9/85 (about 180€). The new samyang 1,4/85 is also a winner.
Often I am using a 2,8/135mm - the cheapest sort of a "short" tele
for good portraits - and in the other direction the voightlander color ultron 1,4/55

I would begin with the cheap (but good) J-9.
Use it a lot and dominate his character. You will find, perhaps, that the lens is very soft at wide open (F/2) and if you don't use it with brighten lights in the background, the rendering can be OK. And if you need more sharpness use f/ 4 to 8 and perhaps you can find what you are looking for.
It's a very light and small lens, and overall it's very cheap.
Did You use the lens and don't like it? Well, the cost of the test was almost nothing and you have try one of the most famous portrait lens.

But being that I own a Canon FD 85mm f/1.2 L, I think I have the right to speak up here and sing it's praises. I got the 85mm as an upgrade from my FD 50mm f/1.2, which I used heavily before the 85mm. The 85mm could have easily been my only lens after getting it.
I brought that lens only for it's ability to provide handheld photography in very low-light conditions. And by low-light, I mean like sitting in the back seat of a moving vehicle and shooting the person seated next to me in no light other than what was coming in from the windows, AT NIGHT! That I've done. I would consider a small light bulb in one room good lighting. If I had less, I would simply brace myself against a wall or something similar and shoot as needed. Simply put, nothing beats f/1.2 in an 85mm lens! That lens became the only one I used after getting it, with all but a very few occasions where I would use my Canon FD 20-35mm f/3.5. I was that much in love with that lens.
Now I'll go and try and find the information I was looking for. If someone here knows my answer, please let me know. I'm looking for information on an RF Elmar 65mm/3.5. I was trying to find pictures of that lens to show whether it has focusing ability, or needs the Leica Helicoid Focusing Mount to work. Google lead me here because at least one of you has an Elmer lens. But just not the one I'm looking for.
EDIT: I think I just got my answer. It seems to be the lens used with the Leica Visoflex system. I think therefore I am covered with my Leica Helicoid Focusing mount.

HI pancolart.
Very nice image, rich colors and very good sharpness to ber wide open.
And very good retouch too. You give to the picture all that things that the vivitar doesn't. Fine taste, fine image.

I recently purchased a Vivitar Series 1 90mm f/2.5 after reading many rave reviews. Granted, virtually all comments related to its macro abilities, but I bought it for more than that. I have yet to use it because I need to complete a mount conversion first. Since I haven't seen it compared to other lenses in this focal range, I'm curious how it might compare to these often discussed 85mm lenses. Interestingly, I think I remember reading that the actual focal length of the Vivitar is 87mm. Anyone able to make comparisons of the Vivitar in general non-macro use?

A bit of low contrast with most vivitar lenses but I cope with it through using the SNAP filter from Optic Verve Labs Virtual Photographer.
http://www.optikvervelabs.com/
Gives a one button fix that is scalable.

In fact any 85mm lens is very good , they are premium lenses from any manufacturers. Take that what you can find and you can afford it. New Samyang is commonly available and hard to beat it's price/performance ratio.
