Brian is correct about the Summar. It's likely the least sharp of all the lens being discussed. Of the Leitz lens mentioned, the Summacron would be preferred, then the Summitar (for it's maximum apperature) and finally the Elmar. Don't sell the Elmar short as it can give fine results when there's enough light to shoot with it.
Frank, sometimes you can find a coated Summar. My IIIb Leica came with one. Most, however, will not be.
