In this work we report recent spectral analyses of L dwarfs and our success in measuring Teff and log(g). Using dust filled atmospheres for early L dwarfs and rained out atmospheres for late L dwarfs we could derive Teff of 1400 to 2000 K for L8 to M9.5 dwarfs respectively. We also give an outlook what we can achieve with future models that are improving the fits to intermediate L dwarfs and IR spectra.
