I have a circa 1968 Auto-Soligor f2.8/135 lens in excellent condition. I found it to be very sharp with good color and very natural contrast. Glass is perfect...
I think I may skip these lenses. I gave my sister a 105f2.8 Super Takumar years ago, and she no longer uses it, so I am going to go get that one back instead....
I'm a great fan of those old Practica Meyer, Schneider, Voigtlander and CZ lenses, myself. Given the choice, I'd go with one of them over the Soligor; just...

I would expect f/5.6 to not be quite as sharp as the Spiratone f/8.0, and of course there would be less DOF. This link discusses the pros and cons of this...
