I also have a Sigma 17-50/2.8 and it is a very different beast to the 20-40mm. I wouldn't want to get rid of either.
It is used, but still a good price. The 31mm was used as well but looks absolutely fine. I will have to see if images come out the way its looks suggest of course. I did check for fungus and scratches but found none. It's just in so I haven't been able to do much. It's black - my K-3 III is silver - but you can't have it all.
This is going to be a very nice lightweight combo: 15/21/31/58 or 20-40/58. Still with the 43/85/135 on reserve. But I don't like too much choice, I'm used to FF 28/50/85, of which the first is approximated by 15/21 (23/32 eq.). It has the advantage of knowing your perspective to use a limited set of FLs.
(And if I ever go for the K-1 III, I'l still have the 31/43 plus M 20 and M85, so I'm all set.)

One thing I wasn't aware of: the lens cap of the 31mm doesn't fit over the lens hood... very odd. I always have lens hoods mounted. The seller had a third-party lens cap included as well, fortunately, but it doesn't look so nice. I'm using a Voigtländer cap for now.
