You probably will want some of the old manual focused Nikkor glasses.

This page has probably the most comprehensive information on Nikkor  
glasses.

Look at something like the AIS 28/2.8, 84/1.4 or 1.8, 105/2.5 etc.

Any of the old 50/1.7 or 50/1.4 is pretty good and cheap.  The new AF  
50/1.8 is a very cheap plasticky standard but should serve as a short  
tele on your 20D and it is real sharp and good for the little money you  
pay.
