Question him about it... in a secret way. Find out what school he's going to and actually see what the school needs every student to start with.... honestly, if I was spending that much money on my class & gear, WOW that's just insane. Might be a true story after all.... but who knows. Then you could ask him why he's lying if he is... always fun to bring out the truth.

Man, why do you care though? If he's buying all this shit, good for him, but it doesn't effect you in any way whatsoever.

If I could afford an H4 body, with a few film backs (need to be able to switch film mid-roll, natch), a polaroid back, and all the H class lenses, I'd jump on it, even if I didn't use the gear.
