 | Canon EOS 20D 8.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Buy used from: $345.00 Canon 20D Body Only. The kit lens is pretty gnarly, best to just save your $100 and buy a 50mm F/1.8 instead. Worth noting that EOS 1D Mark I's can be found used for the same price...
|
 | Canon Digital Rebel XT 8MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only - Black)
Buy new: $599.95 / Used from: $320.00 Canon 350D Body only. Going with only primes, you need two bodies. Maybe consider a used 10D as they around $700 used.
|
 | Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLRs
Buy new: Too low to display / Used from: $690.00 Your 20D paired with this is wider than any rectilinear setup with the 1D Mark II. There are a few other options for ultra-wide rectilinear lenses : Tamrom 11-18mm, Sigma 10-20mm, and various 12-24mm.

 | Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $699.88 / Used from: $550.00 Everyone needs a 'fun' lens! Should note the $200 Peleng 8mm and $100 Zenitar 16mm Fisheyes are worth checking out; as is the $150 Lensbaby 2.0

 | Sigma 20mm f/1.8 EX DG RF Aspherical Wide Angle Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $569.00 Very handy little prime. Great for candid walkabout.
|
 | Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L Tilt Shift Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $1,199.95 / Used from: $950.00 At least one of the Tilt-Shift Lenses are a must...
|
 | Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L USM Wide Angle Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Great companion to the 35mm f/1.4L
|
 | Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $439.00 The EF 35mm f/1.4L has competition - at half the price!
|
 | Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM Wide Angle Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $1,399.95 / Used from: $1,249.99 One of Canon's most coveted lenses - and with good reason!
|
 | Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM Standard & Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $389.99 / Used from: $369.00 Everyone needs a 50mm prime. I prefer this to the f/1.8 - which is almost 1/5 the price - because of FTM focus, and a metal mount. The 50mm f/1.8 Mark I has a metal plate, but it is nearly $200 used..
|
 | Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy used from: $1,349.99 My favourite lens. For the same price, you could instead get a 50mm f/1.8, 85mm f/1.8 and a 135 f/2.0! The bokeh,and sharpness wide-open, however, is worth it...
|
| Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $1,095.58 / Used from: $1,065.00 Often said to be one of Canon's sharpest lens. Great for short telephoto.
|
 | Canon EF 180mm f3.5L Macro USM AutoFocus Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $1,449.88 / Used from: $1,024.95 Great macro, doubles as a telephoto. Personally, I'd go for the Sigma 150mm f/2.8 at half the price (optically identical).
|
| Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $819.99 / Used from: $785.00 Amazing lens for the price. Sharp, contrasty and fast.
|
 | Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM Super Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $1,329.88 Slow. Very sharp, very light and very cheap (comparatively). If I could afford it, I'd go for the 500mm f/4L IS over this. However, I could buy an extra five outstanding lenses for that same price. =)
|
 | Canon EF 1.4X II Extender Telephoto Accessory
Buy new: $304.95 Good for macro, increased focal length without increasing minimum focusing distance.
|
 | Canon EF 2X II Extender Telephoto Accessory
Buy new: $324.95 Pair this with the 400mm on a 1.6x crop DSLR, and you've a 1280mm f/11. No AF though. :P
|
 | Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5X Macro Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $999.95 / Used from: $970.00 A macro lens is a must for me, and this lens has a nice 5x lifesize magnification at a reasonable price, making it the reason I chose Canon over Nikon.
|
| Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite Flash for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: Too low to display / Used from: $599.00 RSS macro ring or dualie Wimberley Macro Brackets are killer with this.
|
 | Canon Speedlite 580EX Flash for Canon Pro1, Pro 90, G Series, and EOS SLR Digital Cameras
Buy new: $435.00 / Used from: $350.00 Sometimes ISO 3200 and wide open on your f/1.2 just isn't enough...
|
 | Canon BP511A 1390mAh Lithium Ion Battery Pack for Select Digital Cameras and Camcorders
Buy new: $2.70 / Used from: $14.98 The grips don't afford you as much battery life as they could - I prefer just swapping batteries. If I needed the bigger body, I'd go for a $1500 used EOS 1D.
|
 | SanDisk SDCFX3-1024-901 1 GB Extreme III CompactFlash Card (Retail Package)
Buy new: $99.95 / Used from: $14.99 Very fast, very durable.
|
 | Epson Lithium Ion Battery for Epson P-2000 Picture Viewer
Need a way to store all of your photos while on walkabout. The PD7X looked promising, but from what I've read the Epsons are more reliable.Too bad most stand-alone data storage has poor battery life.
|
 | Lowepro Super Trekker AW II Camera Bag (Black)
Buy new: $407.93 / Used from: $369.99 Need a way to carry it all! The Kata HB-207 looks pretty sweet, too. The Mountainsmith Paragon, while great, is only large enough for day hikes - wouldn't take it on a worldwide walkabout for a year.
|
 | Crumpler Company Embarrassment, Digital or Film SLR Camera Bag, Color: Olive with Blue.
Need quick access to gear to catch those spur-of-the-moment shots - messenger or topload bags rock. Crumpler has blown me away with its quality, not to mention neato-factor! I also use the Kata T-212.

Listmania!
