Well, I posted some lenses yesterday that I listed as mostly mint minus.
Why - well if something was still "sealed in box" I would call it new. I
would use mint for something I had used but you couldn't tell that by
looking at it - whether or not it has a box is a separate issue, some of
use couldn't care less about that. I use mint minus to mean perfect glass,
maybe just a very few slight wear marks on the lens body.
Actually, does it matter that much because I would expect to give a much
more detailed description to anyone who expressed an interest in the lens?
BTW, what does EX+ or EXC++ mean :) ?
