just buy it
plastic? yes.... but so what ?
break it (I doubt if you will) and just buy another one !!!
Fast.......YES. Noisy ??..I never noticed. Perfect for when you want a fast lens for indoor stuff and don't want to poke your efs-17-55 in peoples faces and also don't want to spoil your shots with awful flash guns.
Bargain DEFINITELY.
Just buy it and buy one for your friends too.

Absolute Bargain!
Quite simply the best value for money Canon prime lens you can buy!
Amazing quality photos in low light conditions - great for portraits.
As countless others have noted, the only negative is the cheap build quality, but then any lens needs to be cared for! Used with care produces great results, full stop.

Fantastic lens at a fantastic price
Like many others on here, the review and consistent first place on Amazon's Canon lenses made me take the plunge on this little gem. Coupled with my 400D, it produces some fantastic portrait photos with amazing depth of field. You'd struggle to use it for group photography, but for two or maybe three people huddled together, it should be fine. Don't be put off by the cheap and cheerful build quality, the photos it produces are worth it and should it ever break on me, I'll happily buy another!

Wow
What a cracker for £58 + vat. As most reviews say, it is a must have for all Canon DSLR owners. Popped it on to my 350 and very impressed by the quality and colour produced by this lens, much richer and sharper colours than the stock lens supplied with the camera. Small and light and excellent for low light level shots. Dont delay, buy today.

Certainly worthy of it's price.
I recall I picked this up from a retailer for around £50 or so, and have never looked back - I would have gladly paid more.

Sure the plastic mount and fiddly focus ring sound offputting, believe me they are hardly a hindrance. The depth-of-field offered by this prime lens is exceptional for the cost, at f1.8 the slim line of focus is apparent and often you can stop down to f2.2 for that added sharpness. 50mm is a decent focal length for many scenarios, ideal for portraiture and still life to a degree. I use this lens regularly and rate it highly.
