I still haven’t read enough reviews to be able to decide on a camera to buy. But now I found out that to buy a lense worthy of a (digital) SLR camera like the Canon EOS 20D (currently highest on my list of “cameras I may buy”), I would have to spend nearly as much money on the lense as on the camera it seems.

Well, if you’re going for *that* lens… of course there are various 3rd-party lensbuilders, or you can simply get a camera-lens bundle for a decent price. (And, of course, there’s not much use in getting a high-quality camera with a crappy lens… 😉
I promise I won’t buy a crappy lense …. Ute suggested having my Dad buy me the lense, since he started me on that track.
Now my next question: where do I find those 3rd party lensbuilders? Because the site Psycho told me about dpreview has lots of camera reviews but none about lenses.
Sigma Lense
Manufacturer price is 329,-, Geizhals price is 180,-
Or:
the same values as the canon one, but from Sigma
Manufacturer price is 549, 1:2.8 over the complete range
And Sigma is a good manufacturer. Hey, you don’t want to sell your photos or print them on A0!
I want A0 prints!!!!!
