I think that a 20mm lens (although I can't help in judging the M
20/4's specific qualities here, since I've used only the A 20/2.8)
should make a fine complement to anything from 28mm to 50mm (well,
at least to 35mm or 40mm).

And you would probably like the compactness for your purposes, too,
David.  In comparison, the A 20/2.8 is not nearly so compact - the
barrel itself is about the size of a normal lens, but it has a wide
filter thread (67mm) flange stuck on the front of it, which is quite
nice for allowing filter use without vignetting, but which makes the
lens somewhat "fat" to carry around.  The 20/4 is quite "trim" in
comparison.
