Physically, the A* is much more compact. Its filter size is 77mm vs the Takumar's 86mm. Edit: Wrong data about the Takumar. Both lenses have 77mm filter thread diameter. IQ-wise, by the time you close down to F/5.6, they are comparable. The A* is sharper at full aperture. The Takumar is more prone to CA, but has it under control by F/8.
