  If you go to the Canon's web site:

http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controller?act=SupportDetailAct&fcategoryid=216&modelid=10510

Click on the "Glossary" under "Additional Information". You will see a whole list of lens terms. After you are familiar with the terms, you can go to Popular Photography & Imaging site to search on the lens test results:

Hope this helps.

  Hi my name is Emmanuel
And I use a Canon 20D also
what about wide lens ?
The best lens in the market now for my opinion is Canon 16-35mm if/2.8
but they cost about $1,400.00 now if you don't have that much money to spent
the only other lens I will recommend is Tamron AF 17-35mm DI f\2.8-4.0
don't think to buy any other lens you're going to waste your money
Thanks
Emmanuel

  Canon do a 10-22mm zoom (16-35mm equivalent) which is designed specifically for these cameras. Better range and won't kill your bank balance like the 16-35. Seems like a good one as well. Kev
