Ann, I'm afraid that you just poked one of my big linguistic peeves.

Do the lenses smell like toothpaste? If so, they are minty.

Are they in perfect condition, like a coin that has just been released
from the mint?  If so, they are "mint", or in "mint condition".

No, those lenses are mintox.

Cheers,

oooh great word ... more better... and yes, especially the Sigma with the macro stuff....they are "mintox" unfortunately, the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary doesn't seem to accept it - so I need to forget it too ;-)
