Seriously: The 20D has already a very high resolution which craves for good glass.
If you are on a low budget I would recommend the 24-85mm or the 28-105IS from Canon. These lenses are good but you won't get the quality the 20D can produce.

The best option would be the 24-70mm 2.8L but you will pay almost the same for the Lens as for the Body :-) (But you will still be able to use the lens when the Body Number has moved from 20D to 70D) :-) This is an investment for the next 10 years at least.

I had the 24-85mm and switched to the 24-70 when I owned a D60. When I compared pictures from both lenses it was like day and night from the details, sharpness.

Have fun with your new camera!

thanks a lot for that info. i'm willing to spend some money on the lens because i want good results. it's not that i am looking for the cheapest solution. so i will have a look at the 24-70 2.8L

and i know i have to move - hehe. but some days ago i saw a photographer using a lens that forced him to nearly crawl into the model for taking a closeup. and i prefer a bit of distance - also for not throwing shadows.
