Glad the lens got to you; go slow and it'll all come together.

Vodka. Or if all else fails, sleeping pills washed down by vodka - just ask these guys.

You not only forget about your camera. You forget what a camera is, how its used, who you are and the names of your children.

I did this in reverse with my M4-P and 35 'cron. It may sound silly, but the week it took my camera to get to me gave me plenty of time to get acquainted with the lens. I sat watching TV with it to learn the aperture ring by heart, get a good feel of the focusing throw and all other minor intricacies associated with a lens. After that week of practice I can set the aperture correctly with my eyes closed, thinking of lending the lens to someone so I can have a week of fondling the M4-P to learn how to change shutter speeds without looking as well.

Hello, I'm new here. I actually bought an M6 body on Saturday, I won't have a lens until probably early next week. I'm going nuts. But I do touch and look at it often!

For my first Leica, I bought the lens first and enjoyed handling it because of its heft and solid feel. Ordered the camera about two or three weeks later. How did I cope? I just put the lens next to my computer and worked on stuff.

You'll live. Just wait till you have to send your camera in to Leica for service. 3-4 months can seem like a very, very long time.
