Mark, I own both and I prefer the later in the field: the 1974-89 four elements Tele-Elmarit. Mine was made in Germany in 1987. It's a better lens IMO and weighs less than the five elements. (but the chrome version of it (1964-66) looks so nice on a M3) ;-) Clearly, the new Elmarit (1990) is the best but not as convenient. By the way, the Elmar-C/4 made for the CL is also a excellent lens, maybe better than the T-E, but slower. And it have to match the cam of your camera.
