Anyway, you'll have a hard job finding a MINT Elmar (i.e. that would mean no marks on the barrell at all, no obvious sign of use), and why bother if you're going to use it? Leave the mint ones for the avid collectors and just look for the nicest user lens you can find.
True. Redundant neologisms notwithstanding, it's the glass that matters. Cosmetic appearance is less important if you are going to use it.

Regards,
