All I can add here is that this is truly first-class advice. Personally I'd start with 35/50. The 35mm is the street lens par excellence in my opinion; the 50mm is not an easy lens to work with, but for various important reasons which I won't get into here, it is an essential lens. Even if you abandon it in the future, it is a humbling, disciplining experience. It forces you to concentrate on composition in a way no other lens does, I think. I'd go for these two, then see if you want other lenses.

If you don't want to go for this pair, to me 35/75 is next "best".
