L means the the optics uses special quality glass to reduce flare and aberrations in lens, so cost more.

Luxury. Those lenses are really Luxury lenses. And they are something to Lust after too. And they have a Long Life too. And they are heavy, so you have to Lug them around.

L stands for licence, you know, those people who wants to get their driving licence need to hang the "L" plate at both front and back of the car.

Likewise, the "L" stands for those who cannot shoot well and need to hang the "L" around their cameras. :devil: :devil:

* Goondu prepares to get flamed. :rbounce:
