Ok, just a shot in the dark here...but, I have a 17-40mm f/4L for a Canon 20D, and I am hoping to trade it for 2 fixed lenses for a 20d, 1 50mm and 1 wide angle. Does anyone here care to discuss a trade? I know it is a longshot, but I figured I would try here before moving on to the wonderful world of craigslist.

the widest you can get for that is a 10-22. This lens only for crop sensor cameras. So if you ever want to upgrade to a 5D or whatever canon releases that is full frame, it will not work. Ill stick with the 17-40, future proof your investment.
The 50mm is like $350. I love my lens. I say just save and buy it.

I dont want to upgrade to another camera. I really love the 20d. I just want to switch to a fixed setup. I know once I get fixed lenses, I wont use my old lens. So, I figure I might as well trade 1 lens for 2.
- just saying, you are not going to have the body for 20 years. The lenses you will.mitee_

my room mate is a photographer and has some real nice lenses, though I've gotta be honest I have no idea what sizes or if he's got what you're looking for. I'll show him this thread when I'm home later.

go to ur nearest photo store and trade that for a 35L f1.4 or a 50L f1.2.
