20D If you had 1 lens??

Sep 5, 2004

If you could buy one lens for your new 20D, what would it be? This would be for general photography, indoor, outdoor etc. What would be the single best for all over around photography. I am trying to decide if the new kit with the 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens is going to serve me best.

Thanks Russ
