Re: Yes. Or 24/STM + 55-250/STM

I agree with all of these comments about the 55-250/STM. It is many times better than any superzoom and nearing the image quality of $1000 lenses. An amazing complement could be the 24 pancake lens which is also very cheap and has amazing IQ. It's a great walk around lens and will give you an appreciation for top quality image creation.

I think that's a good suggestion.  The gap between 24mm and 55mm is unlikely to be missed and can easily be dealt with by taking a few (careful) steps.
