For a do-it-most travel kit when wanted to keep it really light and no major wildlife duty which would you say would "best" complement the 24mm STM pancake lens on a crop sensor - 50 1.8 STM, 60mm macro or 85 1.8? 2.8 is usually enough in most cases and a main job for the longer lens would be for nice people shots.

How about the 10-22 + 50/1.8 STM? The 10-22 is quite big but it covers such a useful range and covers pretty close to the 24mm.

If the 24mm is a must and you are looking for another lens for portraits then 40/2.8, 50/1.8 STM, Canon 60/2.8, or Tamron 60/2 seem pretty good.
