The only option is to either save a little more and then buy right at the get-go. (See how to afford ANYTHING: <http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/how-to-afford-anything.htm>).
Or watch eBay to save a few bucks since Nikon T&S lenses do come up.
Saving and buying the best is generally the least expensive overall way to do this with little regret. If you need it now, consider renting through one of the many on-line services. They let you try before buying without having to break the bank.
The original 85 PC lens is just fine, you just don't have an electronically activated aperture. You can save a few bucks with this legacy lens.
If you can deal without the tilt, both the latter-model Nikkor 35mm f/2.8 PC and Nikkor 28mm f/3.5 PC lenses can be found at dealers and on eBay. Less than $500 for the 35mm in fairly nice shape and perhaps to $700-$800 for the 28mm. Both will work, but from experience, both have CA issues, easily corrected in ACT. They aren't as nice or as versatile as the PC-E lenses, but will get you started.
You can also do your own PC lens if you are good with tools and have an old lens you don't mind trashing. Do a search for DIY PC lenses and hack away!
Also, if fine-art is your goal, the Lens Baby has a whole bunch of options with their system and worth checking out.
