I wasn't talking about the EF-S lens, actually.

The 10-22 is an EF-S lens, the 20D, 300D and 350D are the only EF-S cameras. The lens will NOT go on a 1D unless you grind off the tab and even then, the mirror may strike the rear element of the lens damaging both lens and camera. You might be able to use the Sigma 10-20 on the 1D though, I'm not sure if it will vignette on a 1.3x camera or not. |

You posted about some 10-22mm lens and the only one I know of is made by Canon and it is an EF-S lens. If you know of another 10-22mm lens that is not EF-S, please fill in the rest of us.

ttreit, I would honestly suggest a 20d and a 16-35 f/2.8L as that will give you a lot more versatility as a 1d and no wide lens. You would still have some money left over after that!
A camera is a bad investment, a lens is a great investment. If you wait and buy the right lens you can easily get your money back when you sell it a few years later. A camera will be less than half the price a few years later. |

Neither camera or lens will appreciate in value, so from a financial standpoint, they both make terrible investments unless you are using them to make money. If you want an investment, I suggest contacting a broker, not a camera salesman.

Do I have to explain what I'm saying, or do we want to wrestle semantics?
Buy a lens now for $1000, sell it in two years for $900-$1100.
Buy a camera now for $3000, sell it in two years for $1400-$1600. |

I know exactly what you mean, but calling photographic equipment an investment is misleading unless it's a valuable antique.

It's a Sigma lens, I'm not sure how good it is but it's another option I was going to look into. And actually it might be a 10-20 not 10-22. But close enough if wide angle's what you're after.

And Spaz your definition of investment is too narrow.
Captial outlay is an accepted usage of "investment." My return may be financial (if I sell my photos) or it may be intrinsic and specific to my enjoyment of the camera and the photo's it produces. How much I choose to invest in my hobby and where I choose to invest in it is important.
