Nice lineup Nehemiah! 
Thanks for doing all this work and sharing.
I have 100/2 planar, N85, Samy 85, and Rokkor 58.
I love all for different reasons. The 100P really has nice 3-d and makes person pop from background and has nicer bokeh rendering than the 100MP.
I also like my Biotar 75/1.5 and ZA 135/1.8 for portraits too.
Both have unique rendering and bokeh style. The ZA135 would render that chain link fence smooth as butter but with some LoCA kind of like the N85. The Biotar has the dreamy bokeh when far enough from the focus plane but has the interesting swirly bokeh near the plane of focus and it renders nicely out of focus lights.I think the N85 and ZA 135 make an incredible portrait pairing. Otus 55 is not to shabby for portraits too. 
Thanks Wayne!
Would you post some Biotar photos, or how is it in terms of contrast, shadow and highlight detail, bokeh transition etc. I almost go my hands on that, but I opted for the Mino Limited over the Biotar or Zeiss 85 1.2.
They are all up for sale now I\'ll probably just keep the Mino 58 1.2 and Contax N 85 and just maybe the CY 100. I often consider buying my 4th copy of the ZA 135, but as I shoot mirrorless more and more, my kit now is a Loxia 21/FE 28/CY 50 1.7/ and a tele, so I am getting used to miniaturization.
