There's a great sticky at the top of the forum, here read this

To determine what lens to use, it would depend on the shot you're looking for. I would say the 50mm f1.4 is a pretty popular lens, and great for low light conditions.

i have shoot quite a bit on a DOF adapter & i have quite a good range of lens. 17-35, 14, 28, 35, 50, 85 & 135mm.

The lens that I use most common are
sigma 28mm 1.8 for wide
nikkor 50mm 1.4 for general & mid shoots
nikkor 85mm 1.8 for Close-ups

Provided you've got the light, a Tokina 28-105 f/1:3.5 will get you just about every shot you need. It's fitted to Nikon's F mount.

may be a dumbo question, but, does it make a difference if a lens is auto focus or manual?

Noooo,... that can't be... is bulky, heavy, expensive and... and..... my favorite too:
The whole album was shoot at 1.4(my silent protest to video look). HVX looks the same as the stills.

Go with manual lens for sure.
