Actually I think the FAQ is incorrect here - I have a recordata back 2
which has years marked from 84 to 04 - so not only is it still useful for
the next 6 years, it will be fine again in 2084 :)
Or perhaps there was more than one version of back 2 ..............
(BTW mine is multicoated)

> You can calm down Ken. I´ve checked with my IS-3000 quartzdate
instruction leaflet, and it says that the calendar system works up to year
2019. What about OM recordata backs then? Well, according to Mr Hawkins OM
SLR FAQ Recordata Back 3 and the current 4 only keep dates up through the
year 2009. You can forget about databack 1 and 2, they seem to have
expired. BTW, waiting is almost half the fun, ain´t it? :-)
