Can anyone make a suggestion or two on lenses to get for this.

My friend gave me his 10-18 IS STM, 24 2.8 STM, and 50 1.8 STM.

You have a very good friend as those are all excellent lenses.

Do you think that the 24-105 f4 L would be too much for it?

IMO, the 24mm end isn't wide enough for an APS-C camera. I have the EF 24-105mmL that I use on a 6D and also have the SL2 with the EF-S 18-55mm STM f/4.0-5.6 kit lens. I think the kit lens is very close in IQ to the 24-105mm lens. It is sharper, IMO, than the 24-105L and is a better fit with the SL2. It keeps the combination small and lightweight. I suggest getting the SL2 with the kit lens and see how it works out. I have the 10-18mm, 18-55mm and the 55-250mm STM (for an equivalent range of 16-400mm) and find this to be a wonderful compliment of zooms. Plus, all these lenses are small and lightweight. Many compare the 55-250mm STM to the EF 70-200 f/4 IS for IQ.
