On the M, I have the old "SOOZI" 90mm f2, a great lens, but fairly 
sharp and contrasty for portraits. My chrome 90mm Tele-Elmarit f2.8 
for M is my favorite for portraits. A more recently discovered 
combination is the 90mm Summicron-R on my Olympus E-330. A portrait 
with that "Lympa" configuration is at:

and I think the lens/body combo looks super!
