too cheap to let go of, I would keep it for portraits and when you have a need for it.

The 45-150 is OK for outdoor portraits but rather slow for indoor portraits.

it is fine for both settings, perhaps you want to use a  strobe or flash indoors, but it should be ok with enough light.

I use it for landscapes more than portraits; for portraits I have the the 42.5/1.7 which is capable of some baclground blur, and fast enough for indoor work.

The OP had other lenses for those subjects, but having a good zoom is nice, I could've use longer than 50mm for a couple shots last hour.
