I have the latest version of the Pentax 6X7 90 mm f/2.8 lens. I never liked it on the 6X7 II because of its lack of contrast : it has no snap, particularly when compared to the Pentax 75 mm f/2.8 AL. But when used on my 645N, it gave me surprisingly good pictures with flash. I can't explain this discrepancy, it's one of those mysteries of life ... lol! After a while being dissatisfied with it, I bought a new Pentax 105 mm f/2.4 : a world of difference, THIS LENS IS SHARP AND CONTRASTY, just what I always wanted but didn't get with the 90 mm. I took a picture of one of my friends at about a distance of 10 feet with the 105 and I could see clearly all the stitchings on his pair of jeans (crazy sharp) ! The only advantage of the 90 mm is its close focus ability.
