To A:
Why only Sigma zoom lenses?
To B:
Forget the Sigma 20mm/1.8. It isn't a good lens, very soft wide open even on a D700. Unfortunatly the Nikkor AF 20mm/2.8 is not great either. Take a wideangle DX zoom instead.
Most interesting would be what lenses your friend is using now.
What are his preferred lenses/focal lenght?

Only Sigma lenses because their spectre is pretty representative of the choice one has and the price/value ratio is quite good.
My friend is using a 10 year old Nikon film camera with a 50mm, 85mm and 135mm Nikon lens. She is a good photographer, but not yet into digital SLR technology. Her main problem is deciding whether to go with zooms or, as would be her tendency, to use only primes.
