This is a lens comparison between two awesome old lenses that are very similar in age and focal length. Both are just over 50 years old, the Takumar is a few years older than the Sears lens. Both lenses were shot at there widest apeture and both images are shot with the same camera, same exact settings, and same exact processing settings (very little post processing).
Personally, I actually like the bokeh and saturation of the Sears lens the best.......

I had about 2 minutes to take these two images today before a ton of tourists started climbing all over these rocks and peppered the scene!
Best compositions I could manage in such a brief window to set up and take the shots.

Sunset this evening; not quite as intense as yesterday's sunset, but very nice indeed
Canon 5D4 / IRIX 15mm f/2.4 Blackstone.
[ f/22, 1/15 sec., ISO-100 ]
This lens is extremely difficult to shoot in to the Sun with, it sometimes has a bit of a fit when it comes to flaring....
