(Which Mark 3? 16-35? 5D3? What do you mean?)
There are some fits and starts, sure, but no, I disagree. Last 5 years, we've gotten:
200-400L + 1.4x = great
100-400L II = great
35 f/1.4L II = off the charts
85 f/1.4L IS = excellent
Three L tilt-shifts = jury still out, but reviews I've seen so far look great
70-200 f.4L IS = strength on strength; looks a worthy step forward
Expansion of the FF line with the 6D and 5DS lines
Crop mirrorless finally looking comprehensively useful (DPAF + integral VF, etc.)
Plus all sorts of useful tech: DPAF, anti-flicker, On-chip ADC sensors, One pancake for each mount, Nano USM as a step up from STM, digital multi-readout panels on lens barrels, illuminated macro, motorized auto-bounce for speedlites.
It's been a great few years, actually. Unless you like body spec sheets and high body spec-per-dollar, which Canon does not have to give us if we keep buying their gear.
