Best wide angle lens for EOS R50

[negss]

This is my first mirrorless camera and I am so lost. My previous camera lasted me approx 10yrs, Sony DSC H1, and used to take amazing night time photos. I am heading on a 9month trip towards the end of the year and when I travel I specifically enjoy taking nighttime and city photos. The stock lens I received with the camera is a disaster for wide angle shots and I find myself switching to my phone a lot. I am wondering if anyone can suggest a budget friendly (hoping around €300 max) wide angle lens that would be suitable also for night photography. We start our trip in Singapore so if you think I would get better prices there, please let me know.

Greetings,

What was the biggest factor for your purchase decision?  Was it price?  What lens did you get with the R50?  Rf-S18-45?. 55-210?

Are you shooting in raw or jpeg? Are you using a post-processing editor like DPP?   What is horrible about the images you're getting?  Tell us specifically what "horrible" is for you?  The 36mm of your of your Sony is not what I would consider wide angle.  

I might have selected a full frame body if night time performance was important to me.  The R50 is a great starter camera.  Once you answer the questions above we may be able to help with some of the challenges you believe you're facing.

If you bought the R50 with kit lens then use it and find out what it doesn't do first. If you did not buy the R50 with the kit lens go buy one now. In other words you need to know what its not doing before you think about asking or buying something else. It just may well do all you want as is.

The kit lens is the Canon RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens. It is a pretty good GP lens.
