Perhaps a 90mm Summicron R wide open. If your definition of smoother is
less detail and accutance and more diffusion. Otherwise I use a bit of
selective gaussian blur or healing tool in PS to offset the extreme
"sharpness" of the Leica lenses.

Which Leica small telephote lens (80mm-105mm) would produce a smoother portrait phote?

I assume that you guys are discussing the Summicron... it's an excellent lens. Albeit maybe a little too sharp for portraits of some folks.

Not with me.
... have found that it is a really nice lens after all. Wide open has a fairly good DOF for a face in the crowd and the bokeh is above average
For these reasons it's a "keeper" IMHO.
