Canon 55-250 or Tamron 18-200

[Alex Ribes]

Hi,
In a couple weeks I'll be purchasing my first DSLR camera. The body is already decided, Canon 760D. However, I cannot decide between the two lenses stated in the title.

I normally shoot landscape, although I love doing portraits and planespotting as well (I'll be buying a 50mm f/1.8 too).
Initially I thought about buying the Canon 55-250 since it's lower price and slightly higher range, but I'm afraid that 55mm as the widest won't be wide enough for landscapes or tourism.

What do you think?

I'll vote for the 18-55 STM and refurbished 55-250 STM
