I have both the Tak and the Nikkor. I prefer the latter. Although the Tak is certainly sharp enough I found it to have quite unusual and rather harsh bokeh. But here are two photos - first the NIkkor and then the Tak. I would be interested in seeing what you think. Maybe the bokeh in mine had something to do with the shooting conditions or the version (mine is the early manual aperture version.)


That manual aperture Takumar is a completely different beast from more modern Super and S-M-C versions. Here's bokeh of my S-M-C Takumar 300/4 (slightly cropped and resized image):



While we're at it, here's bokeh of Nikkor*ED 300/4.5:



And CZJ MC Sonnar 300/4:

Yes the image from the later version you displayed is much better in its OOF appearance.
