The 20-40 is a great lens, but quite pricey! For significantly less than that lens, you could buy the DA35 f2.4 and DA50 f1.8. *for the price*, they are excellent. (I'd say the DA50 is a little bit better optically, although I would say that f1.8 is a little optimistic, and would always prefer f2.5 when I owned it).
Don't worry about the fact they're plastic - they don't feel cheap or flimsy in any way.
If you don't mind going second hand (honestly, not a terrible option!), then that opens up the DA ltd primes (all brilliant!), the DFA50mm f2.8 macro, FA 50mm f1.4, or even a DFA100mm macro (but I reckon that's a little too long for a first prime).
If I was to own only 1 prime for apsc, it would be a close call between the DA21 and DA35 f2.8 macro.
