Brother Albano, I have both the 165/2.8 and 165/4 Leaf shutter lens. Both are quite nice as far as all items mentioned except close focusing. To get a tight head shot with either one, you must use an extension tube. I have never tried the 135/4 macro, but I'm sure that head shots are easier. I just don't know what the bokeh is like. For what I have, I prefer the 165/2.8 when I don't need fill flash. The extra stop is handy and the lens has a built in lens hood that just slides out. If you do fill flash then the Leaf shutter lens will do the trick all the way around.
Hopefully someone can address whether the 135 macro works well as a portrait lens.
