I think that starting with a kit zoom is a better position for most people today, particularly if it's a "true" wide-angle to portrait range zoom. If they can afford L-series and understand why, then go L, but I think most noobs will waste money with an L-series.

I agree with you Dave. With my 20D, I rarely used my 50mm f/1.8, but with my 5D2 I love the 50mm f/1.4 and use it often.
