Thanks for those ideas. I think the discussion got derailed there.
I have the 50mm f/1.8 (I didn't mention that in the original post).
I find I am using the Canon 10-18 and 18-55 a lot. I've been quite pleased with the results I have achieved with the 10-18. I thought people had griped about the 18-135, but if it is on par with the 18-55 and 55-250 (at least in the 55-135 range), I would have considered it if I was starting my kit today, but for this situation I'm looking for the faster lens.

JFYI, there are three different 18-135 lenses: the old DC motor one, STM, and USM. The first one was a subpar lens by all accounts; STM and USM are much better--they're optically identical, with USM being differentiated by a faster autofocus.
