I probably should have mentioned that I had the 50mm and 28mm
Now that someone mentions books... I just bought a couple and I (as a total
newbie in need of expanations) would recommend both...
Les Meehan's Creative Exposure Control
Bryan Peterson's Understanding Exposure.
I've had trouble with exposure and these two have certainly helped a lot.

1. If you get two lenses, I would go
a. 50/1.4 or 1.7
b. 100/2.8
3. If you go to three lenses, I would go:
a. 50/1.4 or 1.7
b1. 100/2.8
b2. 100/4.0 macro
b3. 135/3.5
c. 35/3.5 or, maybe, a 28/whatever

I recently started with photography... I bought a Spotmatic in
excellent condition and three lenses: 28mm, 50mm and 90-190mm... I've
