That 50 to 55 is about what the eye sees but some want to take in more of the world which is what the 16mm to 50mm range would do. Great overall lens for most work folk do. Go with that.

I believe the kit lens is 18-55mm.
That lens covers most of the average focal lengths you need.
Don't buy any extra lenses right away.
Get some experience with the kit lens, before thinking more lenses.
