So, it should be an amazingly good lens as the Nikon coatings were very good. Flare will be pretty well controlled as even my uncoated Sonnar does pretty well in all but the harshest conditions. Personally, I would offer what you think is a reasonable price then sell the lens and buy a Noctilux. Unfortunately, using the lens would not result in measurably better photographs than using the Zeiss version which is available for $2-300.
