Hi Louis:

This website may help. It has info about past and present Canon EF lenses. http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/camera/lens/f_lens.html

Standard answer to the standard question of "I just bought lens XYZ, is it any good?" is:

Put film in camera. Take pictures. Get film processed. Examine results. Do you like them?

The time for asking for other people's opinions of a lens is before you buy it; the time for finding out if you like it is after you buy it.

Having said that, you can check out the specs on it at the Canon Camera Museum that the previous response mentioned. For non-Canon sources of comments and tests (and I haven't checked to see if this lens is listed in any of 'em), try sites like:

http://www.photodo.com/ http://www.photographyreview.com/ http://www.photozone.de/

I'd tell you a brief summary of that lens' reputation except that I don't know it - sorry.
