X-RAYS

"Use of X-ray systems,"

What is the internet site where the regs are posted? Are there any
exceptoions to the rule? The gal who zapped my film insisted that she was
not happy with the weight of the camera and thus had authority to go
further and x-ray. Her supervisor even agreed with her.

5 YEAR WARRANTY

The one year warranty is honoroed without mailing in the slips, but the 5
year warranty needs the slips mailed in. Note the address on the 5 year
slip, it is in Denver. That's not Nikon, that's a clearing house for junk
mail. They take in lots of names and to "pay" for those names they will
repair a lens now and then. Cheap for them, extra insurance for us. If it
asks for your e-mail address, use a hotmail addres because you WILL get
junk mail, I am!
