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 ......

I suggest you take a look at the Photozone test again - at comparable apertures the prime is considerably sharper, especially in the centre, but also in the borders. That, the faster AF and most importantly the non-rotating front element enabling the use of polarising filter (very useful for a lens that is very likely to be used primarily for landscapes and architecture) make it a very worthwhile addition to 20-50. And I won't even mention the smaller size and the ridiculously low price (I just bought one for 99 EUR).
