I have both and have had multiple examples of the 4/135 Elmar and the
earlier Hektor.  Nice lenses, and a bit sharper than the Sonnar of equal
specification (speak it not in Gath -- Marc Small ADMITTING a Leica lens is
SHARPER than a Zeiss lens!)

But the Elmar is a LOOOOOOOONG lens.  For photograpy, stick with the
Tele-Elmar.  Does the job, with style, and it's a LOT more convenient.
