Another round of comparing these two lenses, looking at the bokeh etc and not just sharpness. This time around, sharpness/detail wise, the Takumar edges the Soligor, but I'll leave the rest to everyone's eyes.

I did my best to focus on the same thing for each lens. I note the Soligor consistently has slower shutter speeds than the Tak, probably due more to lighting conditions (clouds) than difference in absolute speed. Though at 5.6 the Soligor maybe has a slightly deeper DOF.

Dang! If I have to pick one, I will pick SMC Tak because the contrast and color delight me (little) more.
