I lusted after one for a long time when I was shooting film, but I could
never afford it when it was available.

Or if you shot in low-light conditions a lot.  That's the main draw it
had for me.  My "maximum Pentax" kit on film would have been MZ-S with
grip, FA* 80-200/2.8, and FA* 28-70/2.8.  Maybe throw in something
shorter than 28, and definitely toss in something(s) longer than 200.
I'd'a'been set.
