Hi Raymond and welcome to the forum!
Some more details will help us to help you make a sound decision:
The R50 comes with a couple of kit lens options, which one precisely do you have?
The needs for architecture and portraiture are quite divergent.  For architecture, you want a wide field  of view, which means a short focal range, while for portrait you want almost the opposite.
So that suggests either two fixed focal length lenses, one for each application, or a zoom with a wide wide range of focal lengths.  Do you have a preference?
What is your budget value in $?


cheers, TREVOR
