It’s about twenty years old, and a fixed focal length lens. Will be selling it, as I just received a 24mm which is my preferred focal length. Cost me a bit over $100.

Pentax K5 IIs
We'll know for sure today, but the rumors have that this new K5 will have a 16MP sensor with no AA filter. As they are owned by Ricoh I would guess this will be the same Sony sensor that Ricoh uses in the A16 zoom module for the GXR. I have that and it is really, really good. Sean Reid says it's the best APSC sensor he has tested.

Haunted Texas - Pentax K5 and DA* 16-50mm
I have been wanting to photograph this old, abandoned school for over a year. I finally made the trip from Dallas to Crockett, Texas with a friend this weekend to see what we could get. The forecast was calling for rain but somehow we managed to avoid it. The old school is or is not haunted, depending on your research sources. Personally, I don't believe in ghosts or hauntings but this old building has the stereotypical look of a place that might be haunted.
This school was built in the late 1800s and closed its doors for numerous reasons in the 1970s. The roof and upper levels of the school have collapsed and the building is quite dangerous. I did (like a fool) enter the building and shot numerous frames inside but the best you will get from this old structure is the exterior. You can read more about this old school at this link:

Here's a spider about to eat a wasp (it wrapped it up amazingly quick!)
