Soligor 70-220mm f/3.5 Macro vs Sigma 50-500mm f/4-6.3 APO DG

This Soligor seems a rare lens, as not much information about it is available online.

I didn't include SMC DA 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED in this comparison, as Sigma 50-500mm performs better at 200mm than Pentax .

Comparison:

Note: Only tested at ca 220mm, as carrying either of these very heavy lenses would mostly be for tele purposes.
