I bought few years ago petzval lens,

I refresh the brass and peeled off the interior blackening.

I put a new blackenings:

It looked ok, but there was a separation in front lens group:

I found an optical workshop where the separation was fixed. They uncemented the lenses, cleaned them, polished and aligned and cementetd it again

The final is, I think awesome.

and the results are also good, especially swirly bokeh:
