Given how much it's been bashed about/abused, the coatings must be shot (though the glass is fairly clean), but it still performs well. Am not sure how much a new Barlow would improve the images (!) except I'd actually quite like something that increased the focal length a little less for ideal image scale (the image train is operating at near 9.2m f.l. just now).
