The 32mm and 56mm are sharp wide open. The EF 50mm f/1.8 is quite soft with low.contrast wide open. You will need.to stop the EF 50mm down to f/2.8 to get sharpness comparable to what the other lenses can achieve wide open.

Both EF and RF 50 f/1.8 STMs are pretty sharp wide open in my experience.

By 28mm, I am assuming you are referring to the 28mm f/3.5 macro. While that lens is sharp, the focal length and aperture are pretty lousy for portrait use.

Looking at your gear list, the RP and 24-105mm L at 105mm might be the best option. If you specifically want to use the M50 or M6 II, then your EF 50 will have to do.
