No, Juan, that isn't shocking. I have been using all-manual lenses and all-manual cameras for years. It really isn't as hard as it sounds. Turn the focus ring until everything is in focus, set aperture, shoot. In fact these manual cameras are ideal for learning because they involve the photographer a lot more than with an all-electronic gadget.

35-70 is a perfectly adequate zoom range. For B&W use Delta 3200 for high-speed night shots. If you wish to use that film in daylight an ND filter will be very useful to lower the light coming in. However your shots with that film will be very grainy...up to you to use that to aesthetic effect.
