I’d pick something with IS that is sharp wide-open. The RF50 STM fails both those requirements.

Depending on how you want to frame the shots, I’d pick the 15-30 or 70-200.

The OP is using an R5, so lens IS is not necessary. There is no need to use a lens wide open for focus bracketing, in fact it’s best not to use wide open in order to have smoother focus transition between frames. The RF 50/1.8 is beautifully sharp across the frame at f2.8 or f4.

So you could equally well conclude that the RF 50/1.8 succeeds on both counts.
