"L" lenses are the most desirable, and the ones of high image quality. However, Tamron and Sigma are producing very nice lenses this year. These may not be as good as L lenses, but are getting better and don't cost as much. Also keep in mind that the 5D uses a full size sensor, so skip the EF-S lenses since these are designed for cropped sensors like my 40D. For the 5D, select EF lenses (not EF-S). With cropped sensors such as the 40D you can use both types of lenses.
