You wrote "It won't change your mind? So what do you have your mind set on anyway?" - I placed the order with newegg.com with 50D and the lens you HIGHLY recommended. I will buy the other lens (wide angle) after a few months.

I checked Best Buy's reviews on the site given by GrandPaw and decided to go with newegg. They, too have good financing - 12 months instead of 18 months.

THANKS A LOT for all your help.

Hats of to you .........Sir :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
