The 20 is kinda over-rated IMO

It's a really good lens, not saying it isn't, but it isn't as out-of-this-world-spectacular as some like to claim.

Yes, at 100% it's better than my 17/2.8, but on a print it's not that much better. Can't say in a general sense that it's *better* than my Oly 25 or 45... don't even know whether it's even that much better than the Sigma 30.

My girlfreind loves the FL and it's her most used lens. I much much much prefer a 25mm FL.

Buy a prime because it has a really great FL for *you*.

I bought the Oly 17/2.8 over the 20 and for me it was a way better choice.
