I'd recommend the 50mm/f1.8 and 105mm/f2.5.
You might want to try the 105mm/f2.8 macro instead
of the 105mm/f2.5. The 2.5 has a bit better definition
and costs about half as much, but the macro lens is
still a very good lens, and macro's fun.
The 85mm/f1.8 is a great lens as well. If you were
getting a 35mm instead of a 50mm, I'd go with that
instead of the 105. It's perspective isn't different
enough from the 50mm that I'd want it as my only
other lens, though.

Right. The older ones will attach to the F3, but
don't couple with the meter. They won't work at all
on the FM2/FE2.
