I'm going to presume from your question that you are a beginner in photography. As such, I applaud you for starting with film. You will learn so much using a film SLR and should you decide down the road to switch to digital, you will have a step up on those who do not have a background in film.

That being said, If I had just one lens to start shooting with, it would be a standard zoom lens and I would choose one that was a 28-200mm (or somewhere in that range). If I could get two lenses, then I would choose a 28-105mm (or somewhere in that range) as my primary lens and a 100-300mm telephoto zoom (or somewhere in that range) as my secondary lens. Either way, I'd buy as fast a lens as I could afford. Keep in mind that the faster the lens, the more it will costs.

You can read some reviews at the link below.

The pros use Nikon's or Canon's

The have the widest variety when it comes to both cameras and lenses

Nikkor 18-200 3.5-5.6 vr
Tamron 90mm 2.8 macro
Tokina 12-24 wide angle for starters
really depends what you'll be doing.

To START I jsut bought a Canon Rebel with its factory lens, and it got me through my beginner class. However, I will be buying a tele lens for the next class.

a standard, a telelphoto and a wide angle

Get yourself a 50mm f/1.8

This lens is ultra versitile and will make you focus on your composition. Once you get the basics down ,then you can pick up other lenses that fit your needs.
