It is difficult to rate Soligor lens. I think that Soligor is only a brand 
name. It is similar to VIvitar here. Other companies make lens for them. 

About the 500mm lens. If you want to do close up photos, then use a filter or 
extension tube. If you want telephoto pictures, use a 500mm that will focus 
to infinity. The adapters from M42 to Olympus are expensive.  Also they may 
reduce sharpness.

If in doubt, buy used. You can usually sell it again for about the same price.
