    "Mint" should only be used to describe coins. Or maybe mints. But I would describe camera gear as either "New" or "Like New".

  35. Re: Super Graphic/shutter/ and ektar aero 7" ? ! ?

    That's about the size of it, but don't despair. Your Super Graphic has better movements than a typcial speeder, so you can dedicate the Speed to handheld work and the Super to view camera work.
