Some real extremes here!
One hand we have Johnny saying "a soft halo of beauty..." 
and on the other hand a reference to Hamiltonian vaselined UV filters.

I do like Erwin have some trouble with this seemingly worshipful view towards
the defects of a lens.

Johnny:
"A picture where the flare/halo/coma/whatever is absolutely integral to the way it..."

I believe the use of old glass is simply a more sophisticated way of getting
what Hamilton got.
Fuzzy wuzzy's! (as Ansel would say)
Instead of sticking flagellated filters on the front of our glass we are just
using glass with wonderful crudities of design built right it! I've got mixed
feelings about it.
