i'm planning on buying the canon 20d in a few weeks and i would like some input on what lenzes to go with that.
i was thinking a wideangle zoom , a macro and a telezoom from Canon or Sigma
how does that sound and what should i look (out) for ?

are you after a cheap 20D instead of its replacement the 30D? if so you had better shop around as I understand Canon have been running stock down prior to the new model's launch. I'm sure there will be plenty around still though - especially with online retailers.

Kristof: Canon lenses will always be better than Sigma. If you can, choose a Canon...

i understand that , but -are they really worth the price difference ?
for example 180mm macro canon : 1400 $ ; 180mm macro Sigma 800 $ ; i browsed a bit online and they both get exellent reviews.
