+1 on 14-140 mk-II

which is particularly useful if OP doesn't want to swap lens often.

This 10x zoom lens, covering the 28mm standard wide angle to 280mm long telephoto, could be good enough for many general application. It has IQ close to the premium class 12-35 f/2.8 on similar aperture.

To OP: might consider to:

  • use e-shutter (avoid possible shutter shock which can produce soft result),
  • vivid photo style (more pleasant Straight Out Of Camera jpg result),
  • use A mode, set the lens wide open, and adjust Exposure Compensation in according to what the Live View will tell us (can guide us to set the exposure we wanted instead of dictated by the default of the camera).
