L series lenses date back to the 70's. L has denoted the best Canon lenses since long before the EOS system. Many of the EOS L lenses, especially the 85mm's and longer, are direct translations of the earlier designs to EOS mount and AF.
Note I'm also referencing other old glass, like Zeiss designs and Leitz stuff. -Adam Aaron Reynolds wrote: > I really don't get what's being said here -- old, film optimized lenses > perform well on the full frame Canons, as evidenced by the L series? > > Am I missing something?
