I have a 70-200 F4 L lens, non IS. It cost me just under $600 and boy does it take GOOD pics! I love a lens with a CONSTANT Aperture and not one that changes aperture as you up the mm. A constant aperture lens will cost more but if I'm wanting to snap pics of swans taking off at a far distance, I want a fast lens.
L glass will cost you but if you are serious about photography and taking GOOD pics, then L is the way to go!
With a prime lens though, you can get by w/o L... like the 50mm F1.4. I've heard GREAT reviews on that lens.
I have a Canon Digital Rebel Xsi and it's awesome! No longer state of the art but nonetheless, I dig it!
What camera body do you have? The 28-70 F2.8L is a great lens (F2.8 is fast too... good for indoors or dark outdoor scenes or anything that requires a very fast lens).
