20D and 300D Black in "The Star"

[snowspeeder]

I'm keen to know which lens is better...the 18-55 or the 17-85 mm. Realized that their apertures differ. Pls advise.

You also have a option to have a EF-S 17 - 85mm F4.5 - 5.6 IS USM which retailed at RM8,599/-.

Think this is talking about having the 20D with EF-S 17-85mm IS USM as the kit lens....

:bigeyes: Whoa? The 17-85 is so expensive? Might as well settle for the 24-70L eh? Or is my math crap? :think:

nick, i'm sure its the price together with the 20D body. Very sure.

[kerpalz]

"heard that" means that i dun want to sell my 17-40 liao...hahaha

.... I was referring to EF-S 18-55mm NOT EF-S 17-85mm IS USM

 

[Pro-New]

Note: the new EF-S lenses are for 20D and 300D only. 10D users........have to change body if you intent to buy those lenses, i.e 10-22, 18-55 and 18-85
