In my own small collection of 6x7 lenses, I would place the 135 macro sharpest, then the 105mm, then the 90mm LS, then the 45mm, then the 75mm. The 75mm is also very flare prone, in my tests. I definitely have an old version 75mm f/4.5. They may well have improved it recently, but I would definitely avoid the old version.
