I have a dilemma with the set of lens for the Canon 7D mark II which I have been using to travel around the world paired with a 17-55 f/2.8 and the 70-200 f/4. However there is always a gap between 55mm and 70mm which I need to fill as often times is the needed focal range.

Genuine question...why do you feel the need to have to fill the gap between 55mm and 70mm? Is there something specific that you shoot that you need to fill that gap? I feel that it's a small enough gap that I wouldn't need to go out of my way to try to fill it? Also, on a a side note, I personally much preferred shooting my 55-250mm STM on my crop cameras than the 70-200mm f4L. The range is better, the IQ to my eyes were just as good, and had IS to seal the deal. For me it's a no brainer. YMMV.
