Pentax K-5 Serial Numbers - Specifications
The PENTAX K-5 DSLR is developed using the highly acclaimed PENTAX K-7 as its base, the K-5 inherits the exceptional reliability, user-friendly operation, array of advanced features and compact, lightweight body of its predecessor, yet it is more resourceful and flexible in photographic expression.

Some early K-5 shipments included defective sensors "stained" by dust-like particles. Serial numbers in red below may indicate this flaw.

Please check any used K-5's serial against the numbers in our database to make sure it is defect-free!

Total Serials: 1,184
