Best budget lens for the canon eos r5?

I don't have prices on the site, so I can't rank by cost. But the cheapest-sounding route for the R5 is the STM range, and I'd start with these three from the Canon EOS R5 page:

• Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM for people and low light. It's the prime I'd buy first.
• Canon RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM as an everyday zoom that covers most situations.
• Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM if you want wide-angle views for landscapes and interiors.

My advice follows the first camera guide: spend about as much on glass as on the body, and a modest lens will beat a cheap one on a flagship body.
