I have a Canon R50. I upgraded from the canon rebel T but this lens that came with the R50 i would like to upgrade it. What is a good lens for portraits, taking pictures of architecture and just everyday things

Good day Raymond.
Do you have a budget, knowing what you want to spend would narrow down the suggestions. Also, are you looking at purchasing fixed focal length or a zoom lens which could offer flexibility.

One of the best classic portrait lenses is a fast 80-85mm on a full frame camera.
i use a variety of lenses for architecture. For tall buildings a tilt-shift lens can be very helpful. A good rectilinear wide angle is also very useful.

Except, of course, the R50 is APS-C.

I agree with KVB the 85mm would not be a good choice in fact a poor choice. Don't get caught up in the so-called labels people put on certain lenses. It depends on so much more than FL. Did you not get the RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens? Use it as it is a decent lens for GP on a R50. Find out what it won't do before you make any decisions about a new or upgrade lens.
