I also was wondering whether I need this lens, given it's rather old optical formula I descided to go for a 85mm f/1.4L IS instead and crop to (almost) 135mm f/2 and I am not disappointed by the results.

When choosing a lens, I recommend looking at the results the lens produces instead of the age of the "optical formula" that produces the results.
