I've been using mine for 10 years now (1.8 Mk II) and never had a failure/
problem.

The mount looks like new.

I think if you handle your gear well, it does not matter if its
polycarbonate or metal!

Only the result counts, and this lens is capable of very good ones.

It is also 80 bucks brand new and one hell of a lens for the money.
There
is no recorder incident of the mount ever failing.

I have seen the front section of an EF 50m/1.8 MKII unscrew from the
mount.
A brand new one, too.

That is impossible. I'm looking at the lens right now, and there ain't
any
threads, there are screw that hold the mount on. Since that is the way
other lenses are built, that is a failure that could have happened with
any
lens, if it indeed did happen.
