It is perfect for the M8 that price has no where to go but up... They are as hard to find as the 24/2.8 Elmarit....

Looks minty to me.... :)

Minty seems to be a condition unique to camera gear and usually describing gear from the UK, so I am willing to say that "minty" is probably one of those Queen's English cutesie terms that seem silly and python-esque to us more practical-oriented yanks....

like petrol, car bonnets and roundabouts......evidently the English language is quite effeminate in Mother England, altho the sale appears to be USA based, it isn't rare to have some Yank acting all British and such to add an air of sophistication to the ad. After all, we yanks are quite enamored of anything with an English accent, right?

blimey....

Regardless of the English blimey language, I think I saw a reflection from where he licked that lense.
