Did I get your attention? 
I bought this lens for $5 while in NZ recently, it had broken blades inside so I could not test it before I sent it away to be serviced.As you can see the body is rather ugly and you might as well say the glass elements were even uglier...etched,lots more fungus than I had ever had before on any lens,the repairman at first suggested I not bother with it because you did not know what the results may be when you actually take a image.
I googled for image samples taken with damaged glass,there was only a link back to this forum with Attlia's nikon lens with a cracked rear element HERE Now that is a worse case scenario!
I took a risk and had it repaired as best the guy could do with what he had (meaning the lens) 4 blades were removed due to being broken,The smallest F stop is now 5,6 (it has been fixed at this F stop to prevent any more damage because of the missing blades),the glass he said cleaned up better than expected. The outside of the lens remained ugly...or full of character as I like to think 
The lens
1)
2) The newly arranged blades plus a bonus hair
3) Damaged Glass
4) Damaged Glass
5) No damage???

For special occasions. Artistic and creative photography.
I Wonder what style it would offer in light, especially with a special bokeh star shape due to the missing blades.

I think for the repair price + the $5 it was a fair price to have a primoplan to play with....even though it has issues requires a lot of PP.

Glass problem is the worst thing, you are right about lighting issues. Most of it seems to be just coating problems, unless you also have heavy scratching.
Min aperture of f/5.6 is no great loss, thats probably as small as you want to go on APS-C
And there are much cheaper more conventional lenses that will work just fine at f/8-f/11

I think you can describe it as fungus etching and not scratches, but I have not had a close look internally to note the difference.
For those of you who are in Australia and want to know the repairman I use, here is his website,I can reccommend him for his work AND he communicates very well and answers any questions.

Thank you That's why I posted it, as there are not many examples taken with "damaged" glass. I know the glass does affect the final image but PP does help a lot. I am happy with this lens the way it is...some may not be.

Some samples of the back ground highlights,taken 10/2
Wide open...bubbles
F5.6 ugly highlights
Some taken this morning both F 5.6 using available light and with PP adjustments.

Congrats Moïra.
I like #1.
3 and 4 are great indoor shots and prove it is a portrait winner.
You did a very fine job.
There are some lenses with which I feel very at ease and have a special affection for them, without knowing why.
Some are not in perfect shape, or needed I service them, and I like them very much.
It seems the same with you and your survivor.

That's a great image, you know that the wooden gate is sharp, or at least could be sharp if the lens was in good shape. But the softness is better, it adds something to the image that's hard to define. I like it.

I'm not surprised at all with the capable results.
I had an industar 61LZ with one internal coating completely destroyed and even with that ugly looking element the results were very good. Probably a small loss in contrast, if some at all.
At the moment I have a nikkor 35-105 with a badly chipped front element which was given because the previous owner thought it would appear on the images and he was about to throw it to a bin...

Thanks Olivier, I do like saving the old lenses, most of my lenses have some cosmetic problem or small fungus marks. I have "soft spots" for many of my lenses especially the pancolar 2/50,they are a pure joy to use.
I agree Lloydy,there is a "smoothness" to the edges of the gate that I like.

I just love this picture - and the cat.

She is my best model and challenge,a sleeping cat is easy to photograph (I won't say shoot) They beguile you with their cuteness then assert their demanding ways...wait a minute that sounds familiar...
I am named after my cat, mo.
