Mike - Cool beans. I'll be going in and picking up my 10D tomorrow. I've been looking and I think the lens I am going to be getting for mine, in about a month, as my standard lens is the Canon 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens. It's an oustanding all around lens with image stabilization. On the 10D it becomes a 45-216mm f/3.5-5.6 and the IS really makes it act more like a lens that's 1 to 2 stops better (because you can shoot handheld with slower shutter speeds than normal). With an $875 lens budget, I would probably go with the 28-135mm IS (which sells for $350-400 or so) and the 100mm f/2.8 macro. -=>Donald
