L zooms for an APS-C camera is just bling
if you're buying them, make sure it is because you plan to upgrade to full frame later
the only L glass I would consider if I had APS-C and didn't plan to eventually go for fullframe would be primes, and even then only if I had money to spare, otherwise the non-L primes should be enough for most cases (24mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.8)
if you're looking for zooms, consider:
* tokina 11-16 f/2.8
* tamron 17-50 f/2.8 non-VC
* canon 17-55 f/2.8 IS
these are WAY better than L counterparts, at a fraction of the price (but they won't work on full-frame)
