That's just your luck - front element assembly on 50/1.8 is known to pop out from relatively minor knocks.

Yep, mine too.  Let it sit a couple years, then got curious and opened it up.  All the broken pieces were still there.  A little 'super glue' and it's back together good (or bad ) as new.

But it is cheap enough to be considered a "disposable lens".
