Don't forget the 24mm f/2.8 STM

Excellent choices with those three lenses - truly a frugal-gourmet collection where image quality is concerned.

If I can weigh in, I might add one more value-for-money winner, and that would be the 24mm f/2.8 STM prime, another EF-S lens. It's a pancake lens, barely half an inch long, and is by all accounts as light and sharp as the 50mm - even lighter as it's barely there! (I had and loved its full-frame twin the 40mm 2.8, also a pancake.)

The 24 pancake is very versatile for night and indoor shooting, and for the small outlay, I can't think of a reason not to add it to your kit eventually. And it too is a regular at the Canon refurbished store.
