Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

timbo13 · 04-14-2009, 06:34 AM

I recently had a "milestone" birthday and my wife gave me a surprise party,
one of the highlights was a cake that would thrill any Pentaxian:

Unfortunately, I did not have my camera with me (having been lured to the scene under false pretenses).
These images were taken by a relative with her N---- D60

here's me with the cake, I'm not usually this scary, I blame the on-camera flash

the cake was delicious, by the way!

That's a thoughtful and very funny present. The pictures made me smile--and show them to my wife

It's sharp enough if you eat it outdoors.

do they still make wives like yours, I need one please....

Venturi · 04-14-2009, 10:23 AM

That's one sweet lens there! I bet it produces some really creamy bokeh too!

You sure are a lucky guy to have a caring wife like that.
She could at least have made you a 16-45 though.

A belated "Happy Birthday" from me.

I don't know.. the kit lens has a certain charm to it.

You're right, it's what a lot of us started with.

although my wife is a good cook, this particular cake was made by a lady
here in town that works out of her kitchen at home. My wife said "he loves
photography and shoots Pentax" and this is what she made.

The 16-45 cake would have been more expensive anyway.
