YOUR first L lens?

100-400 L in 2010. Use it frequently and is tack sharp. A very good first experience with an L. So now I have more

After 3 years of owning my first DSLR, I didn't get my L lens until I upgraded to T4i from T2i. My first L lens was 24-105m. A great all-around lens. I eventually had to sell about a year later after reading rumors about IS version, I'm willing to wait and hope for one. ^^'

After owning a 350D since '06 and getting by with the kit lens and 75-300 till I bought a 7D in November last year. I've accumulated a few other lenses since then, and finally purchased my first "L", a 70-200 f4, last month. Love the lens so far.

100-400 was my first. I now own, I think, 7.

17-40 f/4. I sold it to fund the 24-70 f/2.8L.

Sometimes I still miss it.

70-200mm f4 IS; bought it about a month ago. Didn't have to save up but I did have to convince myself to drop that kind of moolah on a lens...especially given that I just got into the photog thing a few months ago. Figured I'd get the f4 to save some change since low light shooting wasn't a priority. Haven't got to use it much yet, but from all the comments and pics I've seen on it, I'm uber excited to.

Spent many years drooling over the L white lenses. After I saved enough I got my first canon 70-200 f4 iS usm.

yeah once you buy a lens that good you'll never look back.

I think I posted EF-s 17-55 several months ago tongue in cheek. For real a 100-400 that I ordered yesterday.

I got my EF100-400 over 8 years ago... It's still my favorite lens.

100-400 L. Is there a poll?

I got my 100-400 in August. I had rented one to go to an air show, and really liked it. That helped me make up my mind on what to buy, and I like my copy even better.

70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM this year. Amazing lens! I see they have them for $2099 on Amazon post-rebate now.

First was a 17-40L. Bought it for wide angle on a 50D. After upgrading to a 6D, thinking about selling it to fund a 35L. Second is 135L. Haven't had a chance to sniff it yet, as it's currently wrapped under the Christmas tree
