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.
