Re: how good is the RF 50 1.8 STM ?

I have the RF 50/1.8 and the Sigma Art adapted to my EOS R as well. I bought the RF as a small option when I want to go lightweight and it's fantastic for that.

The image quality at f1.8 is fine but definitely not as good as my Sigma. I use DxO PhotoLab to develop my raw images which compensates some weaknesses.

If you are no pixel peeper and on a budget then the small RF is definitely a great option and worth the money. Even if you don't like it in the end, it's not breaking the bank.
