I've owned over 20 copies of various versions of this lens. It's hard to find one that has a perfectly drawn, single flare ring. This V1 177 does. 

 

And what is the advantage for you to have such a single flare ring? Is it even more desirable than other variations of flare rings ?

It shows that the elements were placed  well centered and the lens kept original, with optimised results , less glow and better sharpness, in my humble opinion !

Your comment implies, that most lenses are no more original or were not well produced. I would doubt that.

Excuse my ignorance but what's the easiest way to test (or shoot with) flare - open aperture facing light source I presume ?   I seem to have been lucky (or unlucky whichever way you look at it ) ... my flare count is extremely low on all lenses - certainly not these big rainbow arches that you more-artistic folks are throwing around :P .

I’ve cla’d many v1s and v2 infinity lock. They all looked like Frankenstein inside. No exception. 

Many mid-run and late v2 copies need CLAs as well. My v2 that seemed very clean (when inspecting with a bright LED light in a dark room) came back from a DAG CLA making such stunningly clear images, I thought it was a different lens.

I may do the same, only to Wetzlar as DAG isn’t really an option.

Here's what I mean. That's another one of my Steel Rims. The flare isn't clean like the other. Too distracting for me to even try to pretend it's artsy or wanted !
