What's a man got to do to optimise prime lenses here? I want to take reasonably good photos without breaking the bank but I feel like I'm getting bogged down by the maths. Will I always be held back by this unexceptional camera or is it perfectly capable if you're not a retard?

The 35mm f2 IS is more useful (even on ff)

Most of what you're saying means nothing. Take the photo in whatever way makes you happy.
The gear itself is perfectly serviceable with reasonably high sharpness and clarity from that lens. Shooting at f/2.8 or below will give you less ideal results but at f/4 and above the 50mm is a great performer. Sure you could get a nicer body for like $100-200 but that's up to you.

>muh maths
Nigga you don't even have the photography vocabulary to verbalize why you think you suck right now. Just search for a free photography course for beginners on youtube and start from there.
You don't need to be a wizard to be able to shoot manual, just a bare minimum knowledge of exposure triangle and your camera's interface. And honestly if you can't figure this shit out with a T7 give up, you'll never make it, there's people still rawdogging T3is with the kit lens and doing just fine.
