That will catch some well lit shots.
Sigma are doing some belting 3rd party fit lenses at the moment. I look forward to seeing your work with it.
Why did you decide on a fixed 20?

Cheers Guys/Gals. Can't wait to get it and get some shots up for you lot to CC.
Factors?
I use normal 18-55 for walkabout, 70-300 for longer range, and thought, i fancy a nice simple WA lens, decent lens @ 1.8 or less for shooting some nice DoF pics.
I like to shoot architecture, cities, close up of people (less) and thought after browsing some images on flickr this was a good choice.

The only concern is, i think i'll need a bettery grip to hold the camera..... It's HUGE, 82mm threads lol. And a bigger tripod.
The list grows
