Hmmm..., maybe a 20mm f2.8 (almost wide enough for building
interiors, and OK for exteriors) and the 105mm f2.8 (AIS MF
lenses)....
Or, 28mm f4 PC (better than the f3.5..., and better for building
exteriors than a non-PC), and a 60mm f2.8 M (relatively poor
wide-aperture infinity performance, though...).
Or, 24mm f2.8 and 105mm M...
Or, 24-120mm zoom, and keep the 50mm f1.4 (or trade it for the
distortion-free compact cheapo-version 50mm f1.8 AIS for copy
work...).
Or, 28mm f2.8 AIS (better than the AI/non-AI/E/AF versions, but
a little long for interior work...) and the 105 M.
Or, a 28mm f2.8 AIS, 2X Nikkor converter (makes the 28 into a
pretty fair macro lens...), and an 85mm f2 (also not bad on the
converter, if stopped down...).
Or, 20mm f2.8 (or 24, or 28 PC), 50mm f1.4 AIS, and 105mm M may
accomplish all you want to do best (three lenses, though...).
Hope This Helps
