Hi,

actually i have a 18-55 STM Canon Lens that I have bought to upgrade the very old 18-55 lens that I have from 2005.

Now i want to ask, what do you think about the 24mm f2.8 lens? It's an upgrade to the 18-55 STM lens or it's better to remain on my 18-55 STM?

The EF-S 24 f/2.8 STM is better at 24mm than is the 18-55 STM.  But the zoom is much better at 18-23mm and 25-55mm
