Umm, you mean these reviews that rate the lens as 9.25 out of 10: SMC Pentax-FA 645 45-85mm F4.5 Reviews - 645 Zoom Lenses - Pentax Lens Reviews & Lens Database? I'd recommend looking at Rick's review that goes into a lot of detail on the pros & cons and see how they relate to your method of working.
It may not be the best option for portrait (too slow perhaps?) or landscape (not wide enough perhaps?) but it seems to be the most popular 645 FA zoom for the D & Z. There are better (and faster) primes of course, but that's expected compared to a zoom, I have no problem with mine on my D. There's no reason why you'd really need a tripod for most situations, but obviously they do help you to step away from the camera for portraits and are important for landscapes.
