I bought this recently because I hadn't ever owned a prime and figured that a standard 50 was the way to go. I couldn't justify spending around $280 more for a 1/3 stop gain, USM, or distance scale. Not having a metal mount is not a disadvantage. It's not like this lens is so heavy the mount will bust. Besides, not having a meatl mount saves on weight. Which I love when backpacking. Basically, it's a great lens for your bag, and is indespensible when it comes to low light shooting.
