But you know what? ...... it never showed anywhere from wide open to closed right down! My good luck. Did I sell it because I was a tad image lens quality panicked? Yep! And my buddy that I sold it to for a song has for many years jazzed me about it because he's shot thousands of rolls of film and at no time has he ever seen any degradation at all.<< I'm amazed at how badly a lens can be damaged without it showing up in the results. Over the years I've used played around with some pretty scratched up lenses (front and rear elements). I've yet to identify degredation. Even in the worst cases, if it shows up in the end result it's too subtle for my eye. Thus, while even a tiny nick in an element causes me to cringe, it doesn't seem to have much effect on the actual image.
