I didn't use the 200/5.6 so much, it looked rather sharp at f/5.6. There are 2 versions of Super Takumar 150/4, the second is the same than the S-M6C, which is an extremely sharp lens even at f/4. I never had the first version (the second version has a small 5,6 next to 4, whereas the first version has a regular aperture, like the S-M-C). As the 150 is 1 stop faster then the 200, I would say to take the 150, but the 200 has a nice 10 blades aperture, so if bokeh is important when the lens is stopped, maybe the 200 would better suit you Wink

Both are excellent, sharp from wide open. 4/150 bigger aperture gains some shutter speed, may be best choice for general telephoto. 5.6/200 is small, lightweight, gets packed with wider primes when 4/200 is too big or heavy. This all on full-frame camera. For crop-camera 4/150 is plenty long for telephoto; 5.6/200 can reduce shutter speed making handholding difficult.
