20mm 2.8 lens - nice small size and light, good f value for low light, and good feedback from users.

Not as good as the 20mm end of the 20-50 from both what I`ve seen and the report on Photozone . it`s not a bad lens at all, in fact it`s damn good but the 20-50 is stellar at 20mm even wideopen F3.5 (better than the 20mm prime at F4) and that it beats a prime is amazing ......

30mm 2.0 lens - again, same as above, but better f value

This is the usual next buy - can be fun to get the best from due to curvature but it`s criminally sharp and very compact

45mm 1.8 lens - little more weight and size, but the best f value of the 3 lenses, and also seems the best for video?

I`d make sure you`ll use it before splashing the cash - do you use the 50mm end of the 20-50 a lot (even though it`s lame compared to the wide end) but wish for more speed ?

the 16mm is another lens which would be worth considering, it`ll give you that 24mm wideness , it`s supposedly hard to get the best from too but I`ve never used one so don`t know , if I see one cheap I`ll grab it but I`d not pay the earth for one
