Re: [OM] FS 21mm f.2.0Yes it is.
I bought it from a list member last year for $750.00. It was described as mint.
It was not. The box was not "crisp" and the hard case showed some minimal
signs of use on the bottom. The lens itself was almost mint. The paint, barrel
and glass were perfect but it had a few dust specs within. The dust is what
disqualified it as mint.
I can not tolerate dust! I sent the lens to John H. for cleaning and whatever
else needed to be done. He did his thing! I have used it twice since its
return.
Since I used it twice and it was previously owned, I cannot call it mint. Mint
means unused. I see no marks or blemishes on the exterior paint and the optics
are flawless. Obviously, it functions as it should.
It is definitely a keeper! My price is $685 plus shipping.

I have a 21mm F/2 that I would like to call NIB. However it is not!!
I have used it on two occasions. The optics are spotless, no dust. The
exterior appears flawless. There is practically no signs of use on the back
plate (I louped it with a 6X and can see one slight swirl).
The hard case has minimal signs off use on the bottom. The box looks old.
