Thanks for the comments, Alan. Rail in this country is being crapped on by
underinvestment by successive governments. The lines are falling apart and
there's no political motivation to repair them. Here's an example of a local
authority who are trying to rescue the situation.

The A7 has been disruptive and this will prove even more so. I know
more than a few photographers that are buying them or are seriously
considering it. Adding IBIS kind of seals the deal for many people.

options. Part of what has kept

I would imagine that JC is speaking from the perspective of someone
who already has an inventory of Pentax glass. And in that case he may
be right if one puts the emphasis on his use of the word "direct".
