Default Rollei planar 50mm 1.8 HFT or Canon 50mm 1.8 lens?

I have a Canon 500d camera and the 18-55, 55-250 lenses, but have wanted a 50mm fixed lens for a while. I was going to sell my 18-55 and get the Canon 50mm 1.8, but today my dad gave me his Rollei 50mm lens off of his old camera and I'm going to buy an adaptor ring, so it fits to my Canon.

But, as the Rollei is such an old lens, there doesn't seem to be many reviews of it on the internet, but loads of the Canon 50mm. Does anyone on here please have any advice as to which would be the best lens to have? I don't shoot portraits, so don't need it for that purpose.

The Rollei lens is made in Singapore and not the German Zeiss lens.

Thanks.
