jeez dawg, put a little pressure on the freakin kid, why don't ya.....
Smart, smart move, buying that little manual rig. In my opinion, no better way to learn the basics of photography. You really don't need all the bells and whistles while just trying to gain proper exposure, or you don't need that big 5-1000 (haha) zoom lens while figuring out your best composition. You'll learn your exposures by learning how to bracket properly, and with that 50mm lens, you'll depend on your mind and your feet for the nice compositions.
Seriously, i've seen folks with more money than brains go out and buy the nicest digi set-up imagineable, all without knowing their ass from their aperature.
Learn the nuts and bolts while you're saving for the big one. And, don't forget to have some fun while you're learning. Look around town for some classes with people in the same learning curve as you. Oh yeah, did I mention, don't forget to have some fun.........
