The 135/4.0 Tele Elmar is a 5 element lens with higher resolution and contrast. Mr Puts states the Tele Elmar is often qualified to be APO quality. I have both the APO 135/3.4 and the 135 Tele Elmar which I purchased for it's removably head only. I found the Tele Elmar to be so good as a normal 135 that I will probably sell the APO. I have used it on my M8 with excellent results and do not hesitate to recommend it.
