Naah Alex,
Plastic Fantastic all the way!!!
Mount is solid plastic too, but I felt that the construction of the lens - often criticised heavily in reviews, was not as bad as implied.
Glass is very nice for the price, and the AF worked well too.
Unfortunately (for me) I've just sold this little gem to gary beal in order to fund my 40D mod adventure, but I'm sure I'll buy another 'nifty fifty' down the track.
