I am migrating from Nikon to Canon and just purchased an 80D coupled with an inexpensive Canon EF-S 24mm STM lens to use while I learn to use the 80D. I plan to purchase the 24-70 2.8 once I save up for it.

While waiting on my savings to increase, I have to ask if I made the right choice with the STM lens as a starter. I shoot primarily landscapes along with some travel.

The camera and lens arrive tomorrow and now I question the STM as a place to start. What are the thoughts of the experts out there?

Thank you.

Is 24mm going to be wide enough for your landscapes?  On the 80D, 24mm will give you a field of view equivalent of approximately 38mm.
