Apologies if this is not the right forum, I'm new
I'm considering a Schneider 110mm SS XL, but it looks like there's significant (?) balsam separation around the edges. How much consideration to price should this bring? I've done some general reading (here and elsewhere) and the consensus seems to be that separation should have at worst a mild decrease in contrast / flare resistance and that a well maintained lens should have no separation throughout the life of the lens assuming properly stored. It sounds possible to repair it as well but I believe that approaches the cost of the lens itself, so I'd rather get one in good condition and continue to maintain it well over fix it up.
I have pictures of the lens in question here
