The reason I would like another is lens is while the 28mm equivalent is my favorite focal length I need more versatility, what I'm wondering is if the 20mm is too close to the 14mm that I won't find it nearly as useful as the 45mm. I would consider a zoom but low light and depth of field are things that matter for me.

If low light and depth of field are major concerns, why not take a look at the 15mm f1.7?

It’s a stop faster than the 14mm f2.5 and has nicer rendering and color signature.

The 14mm is nice because it’s so small, but it’s maximum aperture is a bit limiting. I have that 14mm, too, but never use it because it’s f2.5.
