Any way the Nikon EM is a film camera and if the OP is willing to use a film camera today please say so we are here to help. Although the EM is the lowest level Nikon camera but with the 50mm (which is also the less expensive version) it can take pictures as good as the top of the line 35mm camera with a 50mm lens.

You are very fortunate to have been gifted a very nice camera. You can get a copy of the original owner's manual at this site. http://www.cameramanuals.org/nikon_pdf/nikon_em.pdf

i was recently gifted a nikon em with a bunch of lens attachments and i don’t know anything about how to use them! i’ve watched some youtube videos and they were somewhat helpful but i would like to know more about how to use it and specially the lenses. i’ll add some pictures of the lenses so you know what i’m working with. it also came with a flash adapter thing and a tripod.

Film is still availble for your Nikon, a good model to learn photographic skills with and the 35-70mm zoom is good to start with also. As you turn it notice how the scene changes perspective: a wide view is seen from 35 to 48mm while at 50mm is close to the normal "view" of the human eye(NOT counting our periferal vision-which I may have spelled wrong). Beyond 50 to 70mm is a slight telephoto view but not overpowering, so this short zoom is a good learning tool. Using one 1A filter is a partial safety feature for dust or the accidental touch of fingers and won't degrade your photos. Read the other reply about the use of the poloraizer and have fun experimenting on subject that catch your interest. (Also contact York Photo Labs for inexpensive film developing to start with...)
