Get the 16.

I have and love the 35, but I don't have or want a 50. As others have said, the 35 will likely become a replacement for your 50. The macro focus will give you something a little different from the 50, but you already have that with your 24-105.

The 16 is a very cool lens. I just got mine, and to have true ultra wide in such a small package, when combined with the RP, is just liberating.

If you haven't shot ultra wide, as others have said, it is a new world, and you will have to learn to see and shoot differently. But I love it.

Shooting ultra wide is a slower and more ponderous activity than shooting with longer lenses. A small change in your perspective makes a big difference in your final image. That makes it fun. You have to move. You can't just stay in one place and get a lot of different shots.

That's my opinion, and it's worth what you paid for it.
