Lens Choice for EOS Rebel T5i and Mirrorless

[crunchypaint]

Hello All-

I am a new user and a totally green, newbie photographer.  I was gifted a used EOS Rebel T5i.  I would like to purchase a quality, perhaps "L" series, lens while I navigate around the exciting digital photography waters.  What is a highly versatile lens that would work on my camera that would also be adaptable to a future mirrorless camera.

Thank you for any assistance/advice you can offer!

This was the best advice, "...the ubiquitous 18 - 55 it should be fine for you to get your feet wet"

Along with this, "... you'd be better off saving up for RF lenses as well as an R-series camera."

As to what to do right now an investment in Photoshop and /or Lightroom is a great idea. Even the free form Canon DPP4 is worthwhile to learn. Post editing your shots is where it is at.

Again, thank you and cheers!
