But they all work, really!

Mounts are same as ef mounts. The L just means the pro line, L for
Luxury, and of course the glass is ED, or apochromatic, and they're much
more expensive than the ef lenses.  The 50 mm macro lens is not an L
lens, but it is Canon's sharpest lens.  In fact Popular Photography said
that lens was the sharpest lens they had ever tested. They gave it an A+
rating at 16x24 inches. Not even the Leica lenses got that good a
rating. I've owned leica, nikon, and canon, in 35mm, and I completely
agree, the Canon 50mm macro is my sharpest lens.
