Had the same problems doing actors headshots with a
Tamron 90mm Macro - great for getting in close without
making your subject a bit squeamish, but not so great
for a "flattering picture".
Two solutions I am looking at -
a) softening filters
b) slightly softening the print in the darkroom
Haven't tried a) yet, B has worked on numerous occasions
but mostly to reduce the effect of grain on hi-speed-big-
enlargement shots.
Cheers!
