I think they are fairly comparable. They are both 4-element, 4-groups lenses. The DX should have a built-in lens hood, which could be in its favor, although some shooters prefer their own lens hoods.

The DX weighs a bit less (490g compared to 565g for the DTL). That might indicate lesser-weight materials, or thinner metal, but if they both seem to function well, I'd say the choice is yours.

What camera are you going to use them on?

I use only film. Mamiya 1000 dtl, fujicas and yashica C/Y cams.

The DX may be the Rolleinar for rollei 35 mm (made by mamiya too) with 4 elements.
