Subject: 135mm f4.0 Elmar vs. 135mm f4.0 Tele-Elmar

I am very curious.  These lenses both have wonderful reputations but I wondered
just how the performances from the two lenses would compare.  

Speaking of the 135mm f4.0 Elmar, Lager quotes a 1961 Leica brochure..."one of
the sharpest lenses ever created"...!  My interest is piqued.  I have also heard
that the Tele-Elmar actually has an apo element(s)...could be rumor and I'm
willing to be wrong.  

Anyone want to expand on these two f4.0 135's?
