At least I'm not the only one who thought that when I first heard of it. Not bad beer, either (and I'm very picky about beer). One of the more amusing ad campaigns, too.

I thought the title was 'L sucks', and was getting steeled for a flame war! This is much better!

Tim: but is it fast? For, you know, low light use.

ZOOM ZOOM do you put your "L" socks ON, or take your "L" socks OFF, for the special body in your life?

Now if they really wanted to cash in, paint 'em white with a big red stripe around them. And of course call it the EOS "L" Edition.

On a side note, the various car mags I read generally like it.
