I've just recently decided to buy a camera so I can start taking pictures of my dog.
I bought a Leica M8 Chrome with a 6 Bit Leica 50mm f1 Noctilux M lens but i don't know how to use them!!:bang:

I want to take pictures of my dog but if I can't use my M8 and my new lense then i can't take pictures of him.

Can anyone help?

Wow, that must have been one helluva salesman!

Well, anyway: Turn the camera to "s" and "A", set the dial on the lens to erm, let's say "5.6". Now the tricky bit: look through the little window and turn the other ring on the lens until you get the 2 pictures of you dog to match. Press the silver button. Downhill all the way after that.

BTW you are in posession of the worlds best camera and lens. Congratulations.
 
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 :mad:

Thanks for your help so far :p

Maybe it is Boris Becker?? The tennis player? In Germany they call him Boris Boom Boom for his famous serve.

Sorry Suzy, but your try was just too obvious to be taken seriously:)
 
Suzy,

I think your parents bought you a bad camera. Since I'm so nice, I'll trade it for a better camera: a Canon Powershot. It has autofocus and everything! All you have to do is push the button and the camera makes perfect pictures! You don't even have to know anything about photography. It does it all for you. PM me if you're interested. : )

Don't listen to this guy. I'll trade you a Nikon, which we all know is better than Canon.....

Suzy, you should know that a message like this one of Rick's is termed 'grooming'. In reality, Rick only wants you for your body (although I suspect he'd like it fitted with the lens too). If I were you I'd swap that silly camera for something useful for Boris. I'll trade you all my dog's pooper snooper bags and I'll even throw in her nit comb and rubber chicken. Deal?

Aww, c'mon Sooz! It's not that we don't buy your story, it just that we are, like, really, really jealous! Plus we've heard that the 6 bit Leica 50mm f1 Noctilux M lens doesn't take a very sharp picture with an M8 Leica digital camera. But hey! If Elliot E. can take doggie pics with a Leica, why not you?

Let's see!

ps, don't be put off by our gruff exterior. We are really nice and we want to believe in the existance of a Newbie Girl Shooter.
