Jack, here is a snap of my girl's face that I just took with natural light. This is about 1/5th of the P25 frame. I backfocused just a tad - an old portrait trick to smooth skin out.

Just as you said, this is not a murderously sharp optics, but that's not what would one expect from a portrait lens. What is important, however, is that areas that are SLIGHTLY OOF are so well defined that they are perceived as sharp.
