You can give any of the cameras or lenses to me if you want. ;)
Seriously though, just start running some rolls of film through the camera.
You'll start getting used to it soon. I went through several rolls of
film before I started to get the hang of it. Someone suggested getting a
light meter which is a very good idea. With experience you will learn what
effects your lenses will give at the different stops and you will learn
which way to fudge the meter readings for different situations.
While I am writing... I just sent my M3 DS off to Don Goldberg for repair.
Now I pensively sit waiting for its safe return. It's the only one I have
and this is very unnerving. For those of you that don't remember, it had a
dim rangefinder image. Don seemed to think all it needed was a good
cleaning. Now I've just got to wait it out.
