The strange thing about selecting lenses is that it tends to sort itself out
with experience. After awhile you find that for many of your shots you can't
seem to get close enought so you get a longer lens. Or you don't have room
to back up far enough so you get a wide angle. Or you find yourself shooting
a lot of small things close up so you get a macro.

There is a point to the proceeding paragraph. The point is you have to know
what you want to do before you can decide what you need to do it with. You
find that out by shooting photos of everything in sight until you find
yourself specializing in a few things. Then it is time to add to your
equipment list. Until then it is best to invest in film and processing.
Don't even think of adding to your outfit until you have shot 20-40 rolls of
film. By then, what your needs will be pretty obvious.

Of course, if your interest is spending money and bragging about your outfit
ignor the forgoing and just buy as many of the most expensive accessories as
you can find. But if that is your purpose you will get better results with a
new Hasselblad than a 25 year old Pentax.
