I agree, that is not pretty but you might be surprised at how well it will preform. I once bought a 90 SA in very poor shape just for the shutter, missing coating on both front and back surfaces and on a whim I made a few exposures of the back yard. The camera/lens were in the shade so no direct sunlight on the lens, the images looked normal. I intentionally did not use a hood. I will, when it warms up some, compare it against my 90SA multicoated version. You won't know how bad it is until you actually expose a few sheets. If you use a proper hood and stay away from specular/bright light it could be quite useful.
