both are pretty amazing and should hopefully get some use out of them on my camera when we go skiing/snowboarding next week

After either a 50mm Canon one's, or one of those 10-20mm lenses. Supposed to be immense, so I wanna get one to see what the fuss is about.

The immense-ness applies to both, as they're both apparently good.

Maybe after that, a fuller zoom lens, like that 100-400mm one. Saw one the other day for 500mm-1,400mm. I nearly came.

Can't argue with that!

Can you do us any sort of Corsa-C discount? Do you print photo's on canvas' etc, or just frame pictures?

yup. Well ive just got myself the 400d, havent got a clue where to start, but wanted a good lens to get some zoomed shots along with a decent macro. The kit lens isnt too bad from the snaps ive took. I havent got photoshop installed at the moment so cant really do any final editing.
