Anytime someone on here asks a Canon/Nikon which is better question, there will almost always be some sort of rather hostile "Canon/Nikon has better lenses" etc.
One thing I've learned is that all of the major brands are pretty much the same, especially as far as lenses go.
In my testing, I've found that both brands make some absolutely stunning lenses which are better even than their German equivalents, and both brands have made some real dogs. Check out the 100 or 105 Macro lenses from both brands-you'd be hard pressed to find a better lens.
Yes, Canon makes L lenses. All the L designation means is that they have some sort of special lens element(fluorite, UD glass, aspherical) in order to correct some specific aberration.
Nikon has these too, they just don't have a "catch all" designation fo them like Canon does.
Some lenses don't need special glass-the 100mm macro lenses, for example, work great with classical lens designs.
