Hi Eric,

The 50mm f1.4 and 85mm f1.8 are absolutely fabulous lenses
in nearby focal lengths, taking into account the 1.6 sensor crop
on the Canon 20D.

Other personal favorites include the 35mm f2.0, 70-200 f2.8
and 135mm f2.0.  Also great, though not as stunning: 24mm f1.4

To me, the 100mm APO Macro is still a notch above, as well
as the 35mm Asph Summilux M.
