Motivation
Back in November 2005 I bought a Canon 20D body and two lenses (an EF 24-70 mm f/2.8L USM and an EF 70-200 mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens). I was extremely pleased with the camera and both lenses, and I started the Canon 20D lens.
After one year with the Canon 20D I moved up to the Canon 5D (full frame) but kept using the 20D--mostly for sports photography. Now I am replacing my 20D with the new Canon 40D, so I am transforming the 20D lens in a new 40D lens. I hope it's useful to you.
Quick tips
- Since the 20D, 40D, and 5D all use the same battery, I bought just one spare battery that I can use in any of the three cameras. I never run out of battery, and I can always have at least one charging.
