If you are interested in a prime lens for portrait work consider the Sigma 85mm f1.4 DG DN ART. Although not inexpensive, it is certainly more affordable than the Leica alternative.

I bought one to use on my SL, S1R and S1. Very happy with it, although I rarely take portraits.

VERY NIce, Thanks for sharing
Sigma 105 f1.4, Panasonic 70-200 f2.8 from my personal experience has been phenomenal! If you don't mind 50mm FL the Panasonic 50 f1.4 also is exquisite! Keep looking everyday for a deal on used ones and you should find one soon enough which will save you some bucks for another lens
