Yes , I guess that Mr Asahi was more romantic than Mr Tomioka and she likes very much this picture.
By the way I appreciate this lens. It is not a "wow!" lens , it is just excellent and very consistant, perhaps not wellknown and slightlty under rated. |

My wife goes for a non-distracting background. For isolation. She really goes for shallow (enough) depth of field with smooth bokeh.
I say "enough" because it's generally fine if we know what we're looking at, so long as she and our kid "pop" out in the picture.
So, 85mm F1.4 Samyang, FD 55mm F1.2, 24mm F1.4 Samyang, Spiratone 135mm F1.8
She had a habit of guessing correctly when I used the 5D vs my EP3. Now that I've been using a focal reducer, she has a harder time guessing |

50mm primes (and around):
Rollei Planar 1.8/50
Yashica ML 1.9/50
Leica R 50/2
Minolta Rokkor 58/1.2
Yashinon 50/1.7
FD 55/1.2
Tele lenses:
Tair 300A
Planar 100/2
Leica R 90/2
Rodenstock Imagon 4.5/120
SMC 105/2.8
Samyang 85/1.4
Spiratone 135/1.8
Wide angle lenses:

Nice list!
Also, from your general remarks about pleasing shots which I confirm from my own experience: 3D effect and non-distracting background give also a good impression to our partners of herselves. |

Why we don't get any advice from Attila, proven expert on this theme IMHO.
He used many different lenses to make good en exellent portraits of his beloved.
Maybe because she feels the strong competition for his attention by his parrot?
Attila, how do you do it? |

Parrot Kakapo is #1 not questionable LOL, I couldn't put my wife throw 8 yrs before to camera, just once a year maybe. She didn't like much photos, due tons of crap what made from her. Everybody can be captured excellent and crappy, if model is shy before camera some alcohol can help to start smiling , tripod and F8 + serial shoots also help to grab best moments , select carefully shoots and involve her once you selected best ones. If she like any of them , process it well, even best youngest model has some imperfections, remove it buy proper retouch , improve your knowledge about lighting, retouch , finally you will reach what you looking for common hobby and a model what love to smile into camera.
One more important everybody has better and worst angle of face, body, eyes, try all and find best ones.
