Not in my book it isn't. Build quality relates to how well it's screwed together, not how well it will withstand a knock. Mine is perfectly screwed together, and so long as I don't drop it (something I intend not to do with any lens) I don't see that changing.

"Finish" relates to how well the outer (and inner) surfaces are finished, and how well it works. Again I can't fault mine on either front. Years back I had a 35-70 FD zoom lens that had a horrible grating action and I didn't like it for that reason - went through three copies before I accepted it as part of the territory - even though it worked well enough. A friend has a $1600 Nikon long zoom that IMO is even worse, even though again it seems to work well. The "worst" lens I currently have for a grating movement is my Tamron 28-75, even though it's not really that bad and its performance is superb.

I do wish the nifty fifty had a metal attachment ring though, as it would give greater assurance that it was going to last well.

Build quality means all of that. It means was it built with quality materials, is it well built, is it strong and durable. That's build quality.

But some things may be superbly built yet inherently fragile, and the fragility may well be performance-enhancing. I'm thinking here particularly of audio equipment, where the best items I have are far more fragile than cheaper "knock about" versions. No, I don't see "solidity" as synonymous with "build quality", any more than I see "heavy" as the same as "solid".
