if you're wanting a macro lens, i'd probably just stick with the 100L, and skip the 135L...135mm is pretty long on a crop body, you can set your 70-300mm to 135mm, and leave it there for a bit and see how you fare...there are good cheaper fast lenses that may not have the amazing bokeh like those listed above...but they're also a lot cheaper, and certainly capable of providing some good background blur...right now your fastest lens is f2.8, if you were to get something like a 50mm f1.4, or 85mm f1.8 you'd see some good blur, and still have some money left over
don't be...i'd guess 90% of the people around here started out with camera and a kit lens...but be careful, if you hang around here a lot people will gladly offer up ways to spend your money
