I'd recommend the 200mm F4. If you use the old one, you'll need a small extension tube for head shots, the newer one will focus close enuff without one.
There's another solution, but I havent tried it yet and thats to use the 90mm 105mm, or 135mm on a 2X TC. Min. Focus distance shouldnt be a problem at all that way. The very slight softening caused by the TC could actually be an asset for portraits. I picked up a Vivitar multi-coated 2X TC and my initial test results with it were outstanding, very little loss of quality. Way cheaper than buying another 67 lens if you already have the 105 for example. I wouldnt recommend a 165mm or shorter lens, the focal length is just too short for tight head shots.
