That's really funny. Wish I had thought of it. Maybe on another forum...

Maybe she's real? Who knows, but it is a bit of a leap of faith.
Perhaps the dog picture will be proof of the pudding.

All,
Tell her to leave me alone. I don't want my picture taken. Tell her to take up street shooting or maybe portraits...just leave me alone.

Well that's nice to hear. I've taken quite a few pictures of Boris and they're not too bad I think. I'll put them up when I actually learn how to.

... likes film again.
Get yourself some (free)account from one of the famous photo sites (pbase, flickr, ...) and just upload. Short question, is this your first camera ? What made you decide to get an M8 + Noctilux ?

Baut Maddoc, didn't you read her previous answers? Her Grandma gave her that camera and I think her dad gave her the lens - such a sweet family!

$11,500 of cameras for getting good grades? Times sure have changed. All I got from my folks for getting good grades was the absence of punishment. Good grades were an expectation.

That's easier than the camera inquiry....

No problem... Two make it go, One makes it stop, and the big round wheel just above your lap makes it go where you want it to go. The one big round dial on the dash should always be between 4000 and 7000, through the judicious use of one of the pedals and the stick poking up through the floor to the right of the drivers position.
As far as the camera inquiry.... you should have bought a Ferrari. Oh, and I know that all the Leicaphyles will suggest that you did.

The three pedals perform the following functions: Stop, Go, and Reverse. Just like the Ford Model T!

Suzy,
If you really are for real and want to learn to use this camera, I suggest that you put that beautiful Noctilux away for a while and ask your Dad to purchase a CV 28, 35 or 50mm lens for you. The Noctilux is a specialized lens and would not be an easy lens to learn with. Put a CV lens on that M8 (cameraquest.com) and just shoot, shoot, shoot.
OK, Suzy, if you want to be taken seriously, tell us how we can help you and post some sample pics. It is hard for us to visualize a student being handed an M8 and a Noctilux, but there are lots of people on here who would help you if you asked a serious question.

Thank you for your help so far.
It was my grandmother who bought me this camera when I got good grades at school. And then my Dad bought me the lens. I've taken some pictures with it and I might post them up soon although if some user's keep on insulting me, i might not do so
Thanks for your help so far

i had linked this storyline to "tropic of cancer." my mistake. this is obviously a lolita-like story that is blooming.

Thanks for the support so far. I'm sort of new to this. The pictures have been uploaded but i don't know how to put them to this site (I'm useless at technology)

You never know about things like this, kids get brand new cars just because they graduated from high school in some places.

I find Suzies' story curious, but not out of the realm of possibility, but then I live in an area of the USA where parents buy Subaru STIs for their 16 yr olds. At least she can't kill herself or anyone else with an M8/Noct combo, well not unless she hits some one in the head with it... I also feel this way, because I know adults who do the same thing, I once had a rich patient who went out and bought a whole new Hasselblad kit without any previous experience because he liked some to the prints I had in my office, and I told him I used a 25 yr old 500CM. That was after an entire Leica M6 kit that he estimated at close to $20K back in the early '90s. So in a word I believe it is possible......
