First of all: Happy new year for everybody!

Now, I have two questions I would like to ask:

- I am about to buy a second hand Nikkor AF 20mm f2.8 from
a friend of mine. It seems to be in excelent condition, but I just
found out that he normaly uses lens cleaning paper to clean the
rear lens element - without any cleaning fluid (or alchool)!! Is there
any chance the glass might be damaged? Isn't the paper a bit
to abrasive for the lens coating? 

I am not worried about the front element because he allways uses 
a UV filter and never had to clean the lens glass itself.

- I bought a MF 26 back for my F90X 4 months ago and it seamed
to be working fine. Last week I did some shooting in cold weather
(about 0 degrees Celcius - snowing) and it kept on reseting - the date
went back to 1/1/92 and all my settings disapeared. This happened 
each time it stood outside for some time. Is this normal behaviour or 
should I that it to be serviced?

Thanks,

Tiago Fonseca
