Your highlights are indeed roasted to fuck in all your B&W shots.
I understand wanting bright photos, but you need to work on some subtlety.
If these are scanned prints, maybe just start by moving down a paper grade.
You could also try a less aggressive film developer.
But back to the actual photos, why in fuck's name do you choose to take portraits with a lense with such bad boke?
Fuck the mamiya off, use that bloody 85 AF-D and a finer grained film.
