You don't need that kind of money for L lenses. As I mentioned before, the 70-200/4L is under $600. The 17-40/4L is $700. There are plenty of L lenses in the $1,000-2,000 range as well.

Better to do it that way then buy entry level stuff adn then replace it with mid-range stuff and then replace it again with "prosumer" gear and then finally replace that with professional stuff.

Though the question wasn't directed at me, it made me think. I shoot in Av if I'm using a lens like the 50/1.4 and I want to take a series of shots with a particular DoF effect. Sometimes, though, I have some crazy idea of what kind of pics I want from one second to the next, and have the necessary energy to switch around settings from shot to shot. These shots typically come out best (maybe because I'm really in the zone).
