I'm curious whether your Elmar is coated. The difference in contrast between my uncoated 50 Elmar and DR Summicron just smack me across the face, though, taken on their own terms, I find both to be superb performers. If anything, I actually like the Elmar a little better since I find most current color films to be too saturated for my taste, and the lower contrast compensates for this.
