No, Doc Martin was filmed in Cornwall, specifically Port Isaac. Another beautiful place

I am very tempted by the HD-FA 35, as I don't have the original SMC-FA version.
However, I DO have the SMC-DA F2.4 version which I use a lot on the K-1 and rather like.
The crux of the matter, reading the comments, if the DA35 really is F2-2.1 in reality and not F2.4, would there be any point having the new lens. Yes I have various film bodies too, about 50% can control the aperture, so not a big issue.
So, I would welcome an early comparison test of the HD-FA and SMC-DA versions sooner rather than later, to see if it worth getting it.

I saw the thread about the Don McCullin exhibition, and thought I would mention to those interested, that Martin Parr also has an Exhibition on in Manchester. Well worth going to. I have been several times and admired the photographs.
Mind you, it helps that I only work around the corner.
Link to the Exhibition is here:- Martin Parr: Return to Manchester | Manchester Art Gallery |

I was thinking the same thing, for me it will depend on how much less the K-S2 will cost in the stores. (I am trying very much to save up for the Pentax FF next year)
In the meantime, I think there are pro's and cons for basically three bodies.
K-S2
Pro's - Small body, articulated screen, built-in Wireless control
Con's - I don't know how the 20MP sensor performs yet, "only" the 11 point AF system, Plastic body, no grip option, no top plate LCD. slowest FPS
K-5IIs
Pro's - Build, Low light is the best (unless the 20MP sensor beats it), that 16MP sensor is a legend!
Con's - older 11 point AF system, cannot compensate the AA filter
K-3
Pro's - Resolution, similar size to K-5, build, 27 point AF, fastest FPS
Con's - Low light not as good as the K-5 (IMHO), battery life not as good, but at least it is the same battery as the K-5 which is a good thing, Different grip to K-5
All of course have no AA filter and are weather sealed.
So it comes down to this.
Light weight and flexibility - K-S2
Low Light performance - K-5IIs
Resolution and best AF for moving objects - K-3
Of course, If you can afford all three, get all three :-D (Mind you the combined cost would will be less than the launch price of the Pentax FF - Ouch!)
