I agree with Sendeva that the 45 is a most wonderful lens. Sharp and yet with lovely bokeh, great and distinctive colour pop, and a fast and precise AF. It's very small, weighs next to nothing and doesn't cost the world. For similar uses despite its near double focal length only the absolutely phenomenal 85mm f1.4 beats it (and most other 85 1.4 / 1.8 lenses, whether crop or ff). That being said, I think the 16-50 S may have better flare resistance and a bit higher resolution than the 45, plus weather sealing (dust!). But of course the 45 is a faster lens and offers even better subject-background separation than the 16-50 S despite offering 5 mm less on the long end, which is not that much anyway at that focal length (unlike it would be on the low end/at WA where every millimeter makes a big difference).
