My thanks to Johnny, Guy, Jem and Dan for their insight.

I still don't know for sure what I'm going to do yet, but I have more to go 
on than I did.

Regardless, I will keep the Jupiter 3. It is worth more than what I could 
get in cash for it. Likely I will try to get the Summarit and if I find it 
doesn't get me what I want in a lens (or if it is not all that different 
from the Jupiter) I will sell it again and get the Nokton right away. At 
worst, I will like it but still want a higher contrast lens and end up with 
all three lenses, which will give me options to consider based on three 
different image characteristics. I like "bokeh" creaminess in some 
instances but sharp contrast at other times...depends on the subject. The 
Jupiter may just stay around for high risk stuff (like yesterday when I 
took it snowmobiling 40 miles in the hills of snow laden western Maine.)

Thanks again gentlemen.

Carpe Luminem,
Michael E. Berube
