Again, 35mm lux asph
Not necessarily a fair comparison since this subject would likely look great with any lens on any camera.

I have a Helios 85/f1.5 for my Pentax but I rarely use it. I really like my CV 75/f2.5 Heliar. However, I use my 50 Summitar the most just because of convenience. If I'm using my M3, the Summitar is usually attached to it. I find it a very versatile lens and it is great for portraits.

Depending on how close I want to get, how much background to include, how much detail in the face to show while still being flattering,and how I want the OOF area, my choices are the 50 Lux ASPH, or the current 90 2.8 Elmarit.
This is what I also liked & still do on film, I adjust my positioning for the crop.
Basically, you really need to tell us what look you like in a portrait and how you compose it for a good suggestion from us.
