The only wideangle zoom designed for use on APS-C DSLRs (Digital Rebel XT/XTi and EOS 20D/30D). Gives an angle of view range equivalent to that of a 16-35 zoom on a full frame 35mm camera.

The EF-S 10-22 is a very good lens. Low distortion, good sharpness and flare resistance. It's my standard wideangle on my EOS 20D

The EF 16-35/2.8L II is the premium ultrawide EOS zoom for full frame cameras. On a 20/30D or XT(i) it's equivalent to a 25.6-56, still a very useful fast, wideangle zoom

The 17-40/4L is an excellent lens and significantly cheaper than the 16-35/2.8L. If you don't need the speed of the f2.8, this is Canon's best wideangle zoom. Equivalent to 27-64 when used on a 20/30D or XT(i)

Maybe the best "all around" consumer lens for APS-C digital cameras, this lens has the same coverage as a 24-136mm would on a full frame camera. It also features Image Stabilization which gives an extra 3 to 4 stops of "handholdability". It's especially useful when traveling with a minimum of equipment.

Note this is an EF-S series lens, for use only on Digital Rebels and the EOS 40D/50D/7D

Canon's widest range consumer zoom. Many people will find that this is the only lens they need. While you can probably get higher image quality by splitting this range into two segments, many users will find the convenience of not having to change lenses a more important feature. The very effective IS system makes this lens easy to use handheld.

Maybe the best "all around" consumer lens for APS-C digital cameras, this lens has the same coverage as a 27-136mm would on a full frame camera. It also features Image Stabilization which gives an extra 3 stops of "handholdability". It's one of my most used lenses, especially when traveling with a minimum of equipment.

Note this is an EF-S series lens, for use only on Digital Rebels and the EOS 20D/30D

Canon's best mid range wide-short tele zoom. Fast and sharp. On a 20/30D or XT(i) it becomes a mid range zoom from 38-112, so it loses it's wideangle coverage but makes a great normal and portrait lens.

The standard zoom for crop sensor cameras. Small, light, inexpensive and complete with a very effective stabilization system.

Probably the best "do it all" lens for full frame 35mm camera or a "normal to telephoto" zoom for APS-C DSLRs where it has a coverage equal to that of a 45-200mm on full frame. The image stabilization give you two to three stops of extra stability, often making the use of a tripod unnecessary.

One of Canon's latest lenses in the "L" series with a constant f4 aperture and Image stabilization giving an extra 3 stops of "handholdability". A great lens for use with the EOS 5D

Great lens. Fast, sharp and with IS. Good for anything from portraits to sports and goes to 280mm with a 1.4x and 400mm with a 2x TC. Equivalent to a 112-320 lens when used on a 20/30D or XT(i)

As above but without Image Stabilization. If you don't handhold the lens at slower shutter speeds you can save more than $500 with this non-IS version.

Canon took the already very good 70-200/4L and not only added image stabilization but also made the optics even better. This is now one of Canon's sharpest lenses and with the very effective IS it's very handholdable, even at 200mm and even with a TC attached.

Canon's least expensive "L" series lens. One stop slower than the f2.8 version, but half the price. It takes the Canon 1.4x and 2x TCs if you need a longer reach.

A new lens from Canon, introduced this fall. The old 75-300 IS was a lens I used a lot. This one has better optics, faster AF and improved IS. It's a very good lens. I bought one myself and there's a full review HERE

The least expensive telezoom from Canon. Sharp at the short end and not too bad at the long end. Not the world's sharpest 300mm lens, but for around $180 or so it's certainly good value.

Canon's longest telephoto zoom, and an "L" series image stabilized lens to boot. While maybe not quite as sharp as the 300/4L and 400/5.6L, the zoom image quality is very good and a zoom is certainly more convenient, especially with Image Stabilization which allows handholding even at 400mm.

Fisheye lenses are fun, if used in moderation! This will give you a 180 degree diagonal field of view on a full frame 35mm camera. On a 1.6x crop camera the fisheye effect is less pronounced and it can even be used as a conventional wideangle with a little help from Photoshop to correct the fisheye "distortion"!

EF 45/2.8 tilt/shift
+ EOS 5D MkII

EF 50/1.2L

EF 50/1.2L
+ EOS 5D MkII

2/3 stop faster than the 50/1.8, plus it has a USM motor (but not a ring USM). If you're addicted to fast lenses this is Canon's cheapest f1.4 at around $300. (the 24/1.4 is $1100).

On an APS-C digital body (Rebel/20D/30D) it makes an excellent portrait lens, giving the same view and speed as an 80/1.4 lens would on a full frame camera.

This is the prime portrait lens for full frame cameras if cost and size aren't an issue. It's bigger and heavier than the f1.8 version and it focuses slower, but at f1.2 it's also 1.3 stops faster and will blur out backgrounds better.

A very sharp tilt/shift short telephoto. Ideal for product photography where distortion DOF needs to be controlled.

EF 135/2.8 SF
+ EOS 5D MkII

This is Canon's fastest long telephoto lens. Very sharp, it's useful for indoor sports, fashion shows and any situation which requires a fast lens that can blur backgrounds

EF 200/2L IS USM

EF 200/2L IS USM
+ EOS 5D MkII

The 135/2L is regarded by many as one of Canon's very best and sharpest lenses - and it's "only" $900, which isn't a lot for an "L" series lens. Great for sports and even better on a 20/30D or XT(i) where it's the equivalent of a 216mm lens on a full frame camera. It's compatible with Canon's 1.4x and 2x TCs.

Another bargain "L" lens at around $635. Ideal for sports and wildlife, especially on a 20/30D or XT(i) where the 1.6x crop factor turns it into the equivalent of a 320mm f2.8 lens on a full frame camera. Compatible with the Canon 1.4x and 2x TCs.

The 300/4L is a great lens for wildlife work on both full frame and 1.6x Digital cameras. The IS allows handholding in low light, focus is fast and if you need more reach you can add either the Canon 1.4x or 2x TC. Very sharp, even wide open.

Though it doesn't have IS, the 400/5.6L is very popular with bird photographers owing to its light weight and fast focus for tracking birds in flight. It's compatible with both the Canon 1.4x and 2x TCs, though with a 2x it gets pretty slow at f11.

NOTE: This is an EF-S lens for use only with the EOS 20D/30D and Digital Rebels

On an APS-C camera, this is approximately equal to a 100/2.8 macro on full frame. The advantage over the 50/2.5 macro is that it goes to 1:1 magnification (the 50/2.5 only goes to 1:2 without a special optical adapter).

Canon's new "L" series 100mm macro with hybrid IS which is specially designed to optimize stability for macro work.

A telephoto macro gives you quite a bit more working distance, as well as doubling as a telephoto lens. This lens can be used with Canon's 1.4x and 2x TCs for more magnification or a longer telephoto reach.

When used with compatible EOS lenses, increases the focal length by a factor of 2x with the loss of two stops of aperture. The 2x II extender is compatible with all Canon prime lenses longer than 200mm, as well as the 135/2L, the 100-400/4.5-5.6L IS and all four versions of the EF 70-200.

Canon's premium speedlite with every bell and whistle they could think of. It can act as a master controller or a slave in a wireless flash system. If you want the ultimate Canon shoe mount flash, this is the one. Optimized for digital use, it recognizes if the body is full frame or APS-C and adjust flash zoom accordingly. It can also pass along color temperature information to the body for better color balance

An update of the 430EX, the 430Ex II adds a metal shoe with the same locking mechanism as the Speedlite 580EX II and 1/3 EV step output control in manual mode. The 430EX II can also be fully configured via the rear LCD menus of recent Canon digital SLRs as well as from it's own LCD control panel. The recycling time of the 430EX II is 20% faster than the 430EX and recycling is quieter.

The Macro Twin Lite gives serious close-up, nature, and macro enthusiasts a different option in macro lighting-a directional quality of light, as opposed to the rather "flat" character of the traditional ring lite. Two separate flash heads can be swiveled around the lens, can be aimed separately, and even removed from their holder and mounted off-camera.

Circular twin flash tubes can fire at even power, or varied between them over a six-stop range, and one or more 580EX Speedlites can be used as wireless slaves along with the MR-14EX. The controller unit now has an illuminated full-info LCD panel and its accepts optional hi-capacity battery packs.
