Yep - I'm getting just the body only. Someone pointed me to another interesting lens today though that I'm looking into - a Tamron 17-50 f/2.8. Supposedly a pretty sharp lens and appears to be frequently compared to the 17-85 in a lot of reviews. No IS and less reach, but supposedly better optics than a Canon 17-85. Researching now to see how it stacks up against the kit 18-55 and the 17-85.
