eventually, i hope to upgrade to an anti-shake telephoto, and even further, get a new telescope that i can attach the 20D with a t-mount for super hi quality telephoto views

but thats quite some time away, which is why i simply bought a cheap lense, as it works just fine for what im currently doing.

great camera, by the way
The basic lense isn't usm though. I'm just buying the body as I already have a 28-80 usm lense which should do for now.

My dads got a canon 70-300mm IS usm lense that i'm hoping to borrow for track day/racing stuff

He's also got a nice macro L series lense but i doubt i'll be able to get my hands on that one
