Hello. I've already had A Pentax MZ-3 and 3 lenses, a FA*24/2, a FA43/1.9 and a FA135/2.8. The quality is superb, I love all of them.

Next step I'll try a tele and a portrait lens, now there are some questions:

Portrait FA*85/1.4 vs. FA85/2.8 Soft FA*85/1.4 vs. FA100/2.8 Macro

I wonder to know which one is the best for portrait shooting only.

Tele FA*200/2.8 vs. FA*300/4.5

I wonder to know which is more useful tele.

Thanks.

Chaosong, I and many others consider the 135 you already have to be an excellent portrait-length lens. It is certainly my favorite. If you haven't tried it for portraits, you should try it before buying another lens.
