Well, I bit the bullet and purchased a 20D Canon this week, along with a very Scotty colored (flat green, with no shiny or chrome stuff) Manfrotto tripod.
This allows me to use all of the lenses I had aquired while shooting with my EOS 3, which includes a 21-35mm 3.5:1, 28-300 3.5-6.3:1 and 200-400 5.6:1. These are all great lenses for outside shooting and prevent many of the frequent lense changes that dirty the CMOS.
The challenges I have are now two fold
1. I love shooting landscape, so now with the 1.6 factor of the 22.5x15.0mm CMOS, even my 21mm will be shooting like a 34mm lens equiv.
2. I want a FAST lens for indoor shooting at shows like SEMA and in low light, etc.
So I am considering one of the following:
14mm 2.8 Canon L (BIG coin)
24mm 1.4 Canon L
20mm 1.8 Sigma EX
24mm 1.8 Sigma EX (I like the 1.2:1 macro on this one)
14mm 2.8 Tamron (good flat field image depiction)
I am really favoring the 24mm 1.4 Canon L for the speed, but also see the wide angle value of the 20mm 1.8 Sigma
