Welcome to Pentax Forums. I am from India. I use 645Z mostly, with K1 and K3 iii as necessary. I also have the Sony A7 iii. I hate to use it, hate its RAW files more (horrible after being used to the 645Z files), but for certain applications, it is the best choice. I have since long been wondering if I should supplement the 645Z & 28-45 with Fujifilm 100S & 45-100, specifically for my aerial photography needs. The IBIS of the 100S ii is very tempting (8 stops I guess), but again, I have discovered that there is something called "quality of stabilization" in aerial photography. So an Olympus OM-1 at ground level can take usable pictures even at 1 second in my hands, but it fairs poorly in the helicopter as compared to even an old K1 regarding stabilization. I have not been able to decide on the Fujifilm 100S & 45-100 combo and most likely I would continue with another Z with 45-85 to complement the existing Z with 28-45.
