There is no right and wrong when it comes to lenses, and no best/worst, every photographer appreciates lenses differently, some people favour certain focal lengths for example

 

since you are buying an old film camera, lenses are dirt cheap so Id probably pick up a couple, maybe start with a nice 35mm prime or something and expand

Sure but what I am saying is, old film lenses are so cheap on ebay that you can just buy like all of them :P

and it depends what you are looking for in terms of lens? wide angle prime? telephoto? portrait lens? a zoom? etc etc etc

35-50mm lens and it needs to fit on the om2n camera either natively or with an adapter
