The title should be a kind of funny / provoking. Well here is another sample from my slim Orestor. The sharpest out of 8 or 9 samples i have collected. Lady is Boza and wears strong makeup thus the colors. No post-production whatsoever. First jpeg out of Pentax K10D resized only. Second full size crop no sharpening, second a bit sharpened (could take even more but not with portraits of course). I think with this lens i can make pretty big prints.

No lens is ever too sharp for portraits.
It takes one second to make a sharp lens look soft:
While to go the other way around is impossible.

Of course Orio, i mention title is a joke in start. Nice adaptation you've made there - i guess I was too impressed with the sharpness and detail but totally forgotten the importance of softness  !

My usual theme with models is to sharpen the eyes and soften the skin.
That meyer looks a great lens and you've done a great job with the focus.

orestor ????
is very good... a bit soft wide open...
a razor sharp at 5.6/8...
i tested it with the carl zeiss sonnar 2.8/135....and you can enlarge a picture without problems
personally ... i begin to hate 135mm... too large..but jupiter37a has 12 blades
.... orestor 2.8/100 a little gem!
it is the best lens made by Meyer-Optik
I'm loving it!
