20D Buyers: What will be your primary lens?

Go to last post
I believe it will be the 28-135 IS. A good walkaround lens - I have my fast primes for my concert work.
 
I'm getting the kit with 17-85 EFS for my burfdee and I don't have any other Canon glass.

I will probably buy the 50/1.8 first as it's cheap and fast and a good walkaround for me.

Still feel a bit of a turncoat at the moment as I had orginally asked for the D70+kit as my prezzie.

Good thing I have an understanding girlfirend...

... all the lenses I already use with my analog body*, and maybe an additional 10-22 if it lives up to my expectations.

) these are (all Canon EF):
20/2.8
28-80/2.8-4
50/1.4
85/1.8
135/2
300/4 (non-IS)
teleconverters

And what about us 300D users???

We had the EF-s mount first. No lenses though...unless you bought
the kit lens WITH the camera.

Assuming it is reasonably good optically, I'll buy the 17-85mm IS for my 300D. I'm hoping that it performs well at f/5.6. The range is nearly ideal as a walkaround. I'm going to make an effort to not buy the 20D, though I'm really, really tempted. Better AF accuracy for fast lenses, a stop better high ISO noise performance, and the ability to the AF-assist lamp on my 420EX without firing the flash... It's everything I wanted... (mumbles to self incoherently)
 
But if you wanted to take advantage of the improved AF shouldn't you switch the lenses?

f/2.8L will stay on the 10D for those occasions where 300mm is too
long!

What's the point of this thread? How would the answer be any
different for the 300D, 10D, D60, D30?

The answer could well be different for most users since the 3 new lenses announced in conjunction with the 20D, two of whiich can be purchased in kit form with the new body and are intended as primary candidates, are incompatible with 3 of the 4 bodies you mentioned. The 300D is the only body other than the new 20D that can make use of this new crop of lenses.
