I used the new 90mm macro for most shots at 1/100 f8 auto ISO, and once in a while an old 45-85 zoom. Both are great

Z & FA75mm, frame & two crops, one showing bird life and one showing washed out viewing decks from recent record breaking high waters.

Well, this is not a street photography but I think it could be a portrait indeed ...
645Z is a great camera for portraiture ... even without lines of Leaf Shutter lenses.

Nice colors.

Mike, tell us about 150mm lens, you have beautiful work shot at him. I hope to buy the same lens on ebay for portraits.

@itshimitis, fantastic industrial scenes in B&W. Love those!

I find it to be useful for my landscape shooting. Very reliable image quality and relatively light in weight. I still think the A120 Macro is sharper, but this one is faster and does a nice shallow DOF portrait.

That is soooo nice...

Winter southerly storm pounding Cook Strait (Wellington, New Zealand) with freezing gale force winds. 2 shot panoramas stitched. 400mm f5.6.
