I've read a little about the L series lenses and all of the fancy words just translated to "Blah blah blah". Can anyone give me an idea of what the L series is like in simple terms?

"L" series lenses are physically better made. Some of them are weather resistant. Glenn

Beside their superior optics, they're also luxurious. They feel better, often look better, work better, have higher resale values, and come with extra little tid bits like lens hoods and lens bags. There are many fantastic lenses that aren't L's, but in general, L's rule.
