Yes it is a good point about the lens cost, and thats why I said it depends on your needs/budget, the 10D doesnt suffer poor lenses gladly I dont know the USD $ equivalent but I use the following: 17-40mm L f4 700 Excellent lens approx 27-60mm on 10D/Rebel 70-200mm L f4 600 Excellent lens approx 110-310mm on 10D/Rebel 50mm f1.4 300 (I got lucky and got a second-hand one for 20) Excellent lens approx 80mm on 10D/Rebel These three lenses compliment each other very well and are suitable for most situations except true macro and super telephoto. Although the two L lenses would benefit from f2.8 they are well good enough Note as the 10D/Rebel dont have a full frame sensor the so field of view is cropped giving the lens focal length a X1.6 multiplication factor. Personally I would not recommend using hacked firmware although it is said to work. Hope this helps a little
