"Some" include Canon, apparently. Page 15 of "Lens work III", book 2, "Canon's Challenges". Quote: 'L Lenses Where Dreams Are Crystal Clear. The bright red line engraved on the lens barrel. And an L for "luxury."' Lens Work is a useful title by the way, it gives a complete (if slightly dated) rundown of Canon's lens lineup and illustrates some of the thinking behind it. Canon has it available for download if you google around a bit. |
