can these 2 work together? Thank you very much... I have ordered the body already.. wanna know if this lens can work with it? As it really looks good for me.. Thank you very much..

Yes they will work together. the 30D works with any EF or EF-S series lens.

 Just curious, why that particular lens?

I'd suggest: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16830998376 It gives you 1/4 more of an f-stop on the wide-end. It also saves you $100. The tradeoff? minimum focal distance 1.6ft (EF) vs 1.15ft (EF-S)...that's not even 6 inches.

thank you very much for your suggestion..

the 28-138mm lens really nice..I have ordered the 17-85mm lens.. However I will consider this as well... maybe 1-2 months latter when I have more money, i will place a new order...

If you've already ordered the 17-85mm, I wouldn't get the 28-135. It's a lot of overlap and the lens does the same thing.

For your second lens check out the

75-300mm EF zoom lens <- I have this one, it's a nice telephoto zoom. It comes in with and without IS models

or a prime telephoto lens w/f1.4...those are gorgeous for sports photography. (hint: the white colored, really expensive ones, lol)

Enjoy the camera! I have the 20D myself and I absolutely love it.

If you want more lens, i would suggest you to get a prime lens instead of another zoom lens, cuz primes have some advantages that zoom may not lack.

1. giving a slightly better image quality.

2. smaller, lighter and cheaper than a zoom lens of the same quality.

3. lens may also be "faster".

4. have a larger maximum aperture (smaller f-number), so it can be used with less light (with the same shutter speed)

5. can provide less depth of field in situations where this is desirable.

Neverforever, just so you know #3 and #4 are the same thing. That's what "faster" means. #5 is then an extension of that logic, because an opened up lens provides smaller depth of field, however that is not a feature of prime lenses only. It is any lens.

 I do agree in principle though. I f.2 or so lens would be very beneficial to anyone who is looking to add a 2nd lens.
