Birthday Cake · **3 Likes**

Completely. Utterly. Astounded. My wife surprised me with a birthday cake I had no idea was coming and had to share it with the Pentaxian community. She made the base and had a pro create the top layer. Made my day. This quick shot by the iPhone cam, please excuse the IQ...

Just. Too. Good.

Happy birthday, Ash. What a brilliant cake. That is the first camera I have heard of that is meant to be eaten! Enjoy!

Great to have a wife that supports you with your passion...Happy Birthday Ash!!!

**Ash** · 11-04-2012, 06:15 AM

Thanks all. And now here are some images of it taken by a Pentax!
First, side by side with the real thing (though no 18-55 WR to go with it).

**Ash** · 11-04-2012, 06:18 AM

Don't know why, but these lenses got a little stuck trying to mount them on...

**Ash** · 11-04-2012, 06:21 AM

Lots of effort all round on this one. Even its weight was comparable with the real K-5:

An excellent rendering of a K-5 ... thanks for posting your entire DSLR - a "Dessert" SLR, that is to say ... J

**Ash** · 11-04-2012, 06:27 AM

For sale: K-5 in altered condition. Has limited modes, not including green mode. No lens eject button. SR is dubious. Kit lens is f/5.8 at 55mm (Limited edition WR version). Tried to take a photo with it but failed. Batteries might be to blame. Sale will go to the highest bidder. This sale is exempt from marketplace rules.

**Ash** · 11-04-2012, 06:31 AM

Oh yes, rear display doesn't work too well either. Some buttons have their labels worn out. Great for those already familiar with the original K-5. But be prepared to get used to some upgraded features from this one. First of its kind: K-5 MkIII prototype.

And one obligatory Instagram shot:

Marvelous....even my wife was impressed and she's not easily impressed.

**DWitte** · 11-04-2012, 07:28 PM

Great cake! Happy birthday.

Thanks. It's been nice to share the love.
