I'm looking for a wider prime to go with my 85mm 1.8. $500 budget
20 - 35mm.
I don't need really wide, just an everyday lens. I'm not interested in zoom. I have a crop body.

And if you eventually move to full frame, the Canon becomes a useful wide angle prime, while the Sigma 30 f/1.4 is incompatible with FF.
