What picture are you not supposed to be able to take with your 645?

Anything that moves, anything that isn't slow and deliberate, anything for which a Minox would be a better choice.

I concede, for spying the 645z would be a terrible choice. :-)

Theuns, I have a JOKE for you now that you live in Germany :

A German and a Frenchman see a beautiful little bird in a tree. The bird as well as other specimens of the same species sing strongly and beautifully.

The German barks "VOGEL" ("bird" in German). The Frenchman understands "VOS GUEULES" ("shut up" in French but sounding exactly the same as "vogel").

The Frenchman thus concludes that Germans hate singing birds.

I am so glad that nobody told me that the 645z is not a wildlife camera. Otherwise I might never have thought to take the folowing pictures of fast moving birds and critters. These are all manual focus as I have found that even if I have auto focus available, it is just not reliable and will tend to jump to other objects it thinks should be in focus. I thought it was a Pentax problem, aparently not.

#1 & #2: 645z + FA* 300mm
#3: 645z + P67 55-100mm - Butterflies in a mating dance with very fast and erratic turns.
#4: 645z + P67 55-100mm (I think) - Moth in a dive to hide from predators
#5: 645z + A* 600mm - Bulbuls chasing each other
#6: 645z + P67 55-100mm (I think) - butterfly on flowers
#7 & #8: 645z + A* 600mm - Eagle landing
#9: 645z + FA 150-300mm - Elephants fighting

Are you also glad nobody told that the 645z cannot do a type of photography?

I am in the process of finishing a month of the Single In Challenge with a 645D

you can shoot anything you want with any camera, any lens - just commit to it....
