Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR CamerasCanon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $1,189.99
This lens is awesome! A bit heavy but the reb XT with the battery grip balances it out pretty well. If you can afford it!! The 30d really balances this lens out.(With the battery grip.) Very well sealed aganist dust and moisture except around the lens mount. Not a prob because the reb XT and the 30d aren't sealed at all.

Buy new: $700.00 / Used from: $659.99
Excellent lens! great for wide angle shots. because of the reb Xt's 1.6 crop factor this lens should cover you up the 70-200 2.8. Excellent weather sealing.

Sto-Fen OMEW Omni-Bounce DiffuserSto-Fen OMEW Omni-Bounce Diffuser
Buy new: $9.54
the best $15 you will ever spend. But when i first got this bouncer i pointed the flash at a 90 degree angle causing all the pictures to be underexposed. But then I read this review on line that said that you are supposed to point it at a 45 degree angle becasue the light rays are being scattered away from the subject. Not right onto it.
