Oh my ... I've gone and done it

Hello everyone. Just today I couldn't help myself and went and bid on an R2. Decided not to wait for the AE version - trying to save some money to be able to buy 1-2 lenses sooner. Coming from auto SLR and youth sports and other things that SLRs do well. Wanting something less obvious to shoot available light and "on the street." (I've had two potentially ugly incidents with strangers while walking and shooting with my SLR. I'm a bit frightened from them, despite being 6'3'' and 230#.)

Seems like this is a very supportive forum for such impulses. Assuming I'm successful now or later, looking forward at the CV lenses, what would you think of the 1.9/28, the 1.7/35, or the 1.5/50 as a place to start? I'm hoping that the R2 will be able to focus these faster lenses well enough. If not, any other suggestions on reasonably fast lenses?

TIA for the help.
