Pros: Lightness, compactness, great structural solidity, built-in removable hood a bit small but fully functional, additional hood very large but in most cases almost useless, very high sharpness, excellent color rendering with chromatic shades of absolute delicacy, I dare say sublime, excellent backlight rendering, extremely smooth and very well frictioned focus ring, as well as that of the diaphragms, all combined with a unique balance and handling.

Cons: I honestly didn't find any.

Opinion: In the 80s it was the optics of references in its category, the same thing also in the 90s in the EF version which optically is completely identical. The current versions, even of other houses, are superior in sharpness, clearly, but as color rendering, color shades and backlight I think it is still an absolute reference. I used it for years - obviously always freehand - with extreme satisfaction, and thanks to its extreme balance when mounted on motorized F-1n, with shutter speeds of up to 1/8 of a second. Now I use it very little, unfortunately the sight is no longer what it used to be, but I continue to keep it with me and I do not think I will part with it even in the future.
