If you mean R comparisons, I can't help you. I only have the 100mm Elmarit 
APO. If, however, you are talking M lenses, unless you *need* the extra 
stop in speed, go for the current production Elmarit. It is as good or 
better at all stops that it shares with the Summicron. Also as good or 
better in the other criteria you list.
