I just returned from a trip to Japan and Hong Kong. In Hong Kong I purchased the Nikon 24-120 lens (this for Nikon related subject!), and also a mini disc + recording of Aiwa. At home I found the mini-disc tech manual is in chinesse, however I succeeded to understand by pictures, all the operations, less a very critical one: what to do to charge the rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries. If there is anyone who can read and understand chinesse, Pls let me know and I'll send to you the paragraph in which this operation is described - there must be only one touch or press for a button to do that. Michael P.S. The Nikon 24-120 lens technical info is in Chinesse and English ! ____________________________________________ Michael Spiegler TADIRAN TELECOMMUNICATIONS Ltd.
