  1. The 2.8 versions come with it installed. They are hard to find used because most people end up selling their F4 lenses with them installed. Canon's pricing is a little crazy sometimes. $60 for a plastic lenshood, etc.

     

    You can look on eBay for a Grey Market one.

  2. The 50 1.8 would work fine for the copy work. It focuses close, and doesn't have the distortion a wider lens would give you. You'll need a little owrking distance to get the entire 5' of painting in there. I would keeep the kit lens for a general walk around lens. If you get a good sample, it will be plenty sharp for most of your general walk around and portrait stuff.
  3. The look of the images straight out of the camera are pretty darn close. The main changes are the autofocus sensor, flash sync speed, the buffer, the start up time, and a few others. If this is worth the difference go for it, if you are happy with the 10d, there is nothing wrong with it, it is a fine camera.
  4. FWIW my 28-135 IS has just about replaced my 17-40 as my "walk around lens". I use the 85 1.8 for shooting basketball and other indoor non-flas sports photography. and the 50 1.8 for portraits. I've got other lenses but these are the ones I use most of the time.
