I'm new to SLR cameras and totally confused by the amount of lenses available. Is there any good faq's that explain all the things I should consider when investing in lenses?

I see these L's, f's xxx-yyy's and other numbers and abbreviations but have no idea how they translate to reality. (ok, so I guessed that f probably means largest aperture)
