90/2AA is the perfect lens!  Perfect MTF, corner-to-corner sharp, apochromatic and no fringing against backlighting, perfect color, perfect bokeh, no flare unless overexposed at more than 3 stops, you name it.  At the same time, it is also very difficult to use at maximum effect because of (1) long focus throw; and (2) extremely shallow DOF at maximum aperture (think Noctilux).  The combination of (1) and (2) makes it especially difficult to use to photograph subjects in motion, especially in low light. Also, because of its weight and relatively long focal length (for M lens), I seldom use it hand-held for anything slower than 1/180s.  A lot of risks have to be taken with it in, for instance, theater photography.

75/2AA is also apochromatic and corner-to-corner sharp.  However, in my humble personal opinion, it is not as perfect a portrait lens as 90/2AA.  It's MTF is just a little less impressive than 90/2AA, but very, very close.  It is also a more "modern" lens with slightly harsher in focus/out of focus transition (but just very slightly).  In the field, however, it is a much easier lens to use than 90/2AA.  Focus throw is much shorter.  At maximum aperture, it is also easier to nail focus than 90/2AA.  It has its own unique rendering and bokeh, which is very nice especially for portraits.  At close focus (0.7-2m) it is superior to 90/2AA because of its floating element design.

I use 75/2AA as my medium-tele action lens (kids, theater, other moving subjects).  I think of it as a standard lens for medium format used on a cropped (FF) sensor.  In the field, I find it much more versatile than 90/2AA.

Both 75/2AA and 90/2AA are among my absolute favorites!  I wouldn't part with either!

I like this one myself, even though the face was a little out of focus.  I guess I may like it less if the face is perfectly in focus.
