To add an addendum to my opinion: I used to have an A 24/2.8 (which is a very nice lens, by the way), but I found that I hardly ever used it, so I no longer have it. (I'm sure it is serving another Pentaxer very well.) But, you know, I don't miss it at all... On the other hand, if you took away my 20, I'd feel sort naked - <g>.
