Hi all,

1. Canon EF 28-105mm f/3,5 - 4,5 II USM
2. Canon EF 100-300mm f/4,5 - 5,6 USM

I have read som much about L-lenses... Can you please comment on the lenses I have bought, and the difference to a L-lense??

L lenses are Canon's top of the range lenses. Kinda like the Lexus of Toyota. :) But still for starters the lenses you have are very good. You can take a look at photos I took with the non-USM (slower) version of your 75-300mm here http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=27434

L lenses just makes taking pictures under certain circumstances easier. Regular lenses just means you need to work a bit harder at it :)

If you have the money to burn, go ahead and get the 24-70mm f2.8L USM and the 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM with the 2X Teleconverter.

If you are on a budget like me, just stick with what you have now and learn a bit more about photography until you understand what you need before moving on to Ls.

Regards,
Ferdinand

L series lenses are generally faster and sharper. They have a better build quality as well so they should be more durable. They are also designed for someone who is going to be using them on pretty much a daily basis but Canon is more than happy to sell them to people who just want &/or can afford, the best.

With moderate use and in situations where there's lots of light the lenses that you have now should be fine. When the light levels are lower or if you work them very hard then I think that you'll see a value in the L series lenses.
