You thought about getting a flash gun? That's the next thing i'll be buying i think, either that or the 17-40 L.

Some top notch filters should be on your list.
Flash gun.
Grip

Ooh, forgot about that one.

I wouldn't be caught dead without the grip for my 350d, it's a godsend. Not sure how big a difference it'll make on the 20 because of its size, but it's made the 350 a whole different camera.

It makes all the differnce with any camera. However sometimes I like using the 20d without it. due to its natural SLR feel.

I'd probably say something in the 10-20+ range, that seems to be where your lacking most at the moment (however if you dont shoot wide stuff I guess you can live without it).

difficult to recommend something without really knowing what you shoot. If it's just buying something because you can, get whatever takes your fancy.

There's a few things which could be appropriate. Swap the 70-200 F4 for a F2.8 version, grip, extra batteries, extra cards, portable storage, macro lens, tripod, new bag, sensor cleaner, teleconverter, long prime etc.

Nothing! Spend your money going to some nice locations and taking some photos!

busterboy...the first time i've heard of the 135 f2 mentioned on here. I am interested in picking up this lens...do you have any sample shots you took with the lens? also how fast/heavy/bulky do you find it?
