Argos/Lens/thinking about purchasing

Good morning I am seriously thinking of adding this lens for my Canon 600D

Argos
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 - f/22 II DSLR Camera Lens. £74.99

 

Hi Woo, I've read some reviews on this lens and they mostly seem to say it's "Okay"...but only okay, nothing really shouting about it. Having said that, I know you to be a careful and good photographer who looks after his camera and lenses so you could put it to good use.
Here's one of the reviews.
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens Review



The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens delivers very sharp images as inexpensively as Canon lenses get.

Build quality of the 50 f/1.8 is very cheap (as you might expect). This lens feels more like a toy than a piece of optics. It utilizes plastic contruction right down to the lens mount (the lenses are glass of course). This light material combined with the small size (2.7" x 1.6"/68.2mm x 41.0mm - WxL) puts this lens in the featherweight class - 4.6 oz (130g). The 50 f/1.8 is currently Canon's lightest. It was also Canon's shortest EOS-mount lens until theCanon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Lens was introduced.

The 50 f/1./8 bears a plastic lens mount. Considering how light the 50 f/1.8 II lens is, the plastic lens mount seems adequate from a strength perspective. You might get more wear than you wish if you are changing the lens frequently.
