Has anyone changed the mount on a 50mm markII for a metal mount. Can this be done?

Yea! that's a deal. I guess I will just have to stick with plastic mount if this doesn't work. I don't think I can justify the cost of the 1.4. Thanks

I dont know if it is possible to do that with a 50mm 1.8, But I highly doubt it. Any reason why you want a metal mount?

Will last longer, a better value? I'm just concerned about it getting damaged.

if you have the confidence and are willing go through and taking apart a lens, then I'd do it....but it might lower value bc itll be modified.
i've had my nifty fifty (MKII) for a while with no problem, and i got it used. if it breaks, just get a new one. if you really use it a lot, id invest in the f1.4.
