Ok, any views on which lens I should get. I have funds for one more. I have industar 22 collapsable, Fed collapsable, Industar 61, Industar 26 and two Jupiter 8 (one black and one silver).

I fancy a Jupiter 3 for low light, but am not sure about the quality, seems there are a lot of negative opinions about this one. I like the 12 for its compactness.
 
So you have six 50mm lenses? Get the Jupiter 12. Try a new perspective.

Jupiter 12

Go for it! Its a top lens, be careful with the rear element which protrudes from the lens body. Some can be had for good prices at the moment..
 
My personal experience with these lenses is the J-3 is a great lens and both my J-12 examples are poor. It's all a matter of the luck in the draw. Finally went for a Snapshot Scopar 25/4 for w/a and revel in the J-3 as a prime.
