The tele-elmarit is a true telephoto design, short and more compact than
the elmarit.  There are two versions of the tele-elmarit: the second
verison lost an element and shows more contrast in the pictuers, according
to the LUG.  It is generally agreed upon that the latest
Elmarit is the best.

I have owned both the lenses and I confirm your comparative estimate.But,
in practice, the differences are hard to observe, excepting at 2.8.
Today I have neither of them, but a summilux 75. Sometimes I regret the
tele-elmarit in consideration of weight and dimension.
