Pros: Maximum opening of f1.4, contained distortion, footprints and weight lower than newer homologous models, price to use

Cons: Microcontracting and correction of aberrations did not excel, spare parts no longer provided by Canon

Opinion: It is a lens produced from 1997 to 2008, with an optical scheme that is now of old conception. Those looking for optical performance from macro lens are better off orienting themselves on the other. In fact, especially at the high openings of the diaphragm, the microcontract is low (lower than that of 35 f1.4 L or 50 f1.2 L), and decays clearly in the peripheral areas of the lenses: in addition the chromatic aberrations are not very small, and there are also problems of astigmatism. The vignette is quite marked, as is usually the case with similar optics. On the other hand, the distortion is contained. That said, if you use optics in conditions of use that do not exalt its defects, it is a lens that can still be satisfactory. Personally, I find the low microcontrasto in certain junctures appreciable, combined with the slight veiling given by the spherical aberration that you have at f1.4 (both in the photos and in the videos). The optics are equipped with a usm engine, which ensures a sufficiently accurate and fairly fast focus. As a fairly dated target, Canon no longer provides spare parts, so it's good to be cautious when choosing the used specimen, as repairability can become a serious problem.
