Sound like carnival songs here, I'm sure it can be a success here

At least that is the case here so hopefully you're spared in some countries
Would love to know what you think is the best and worse Christmas song so that we know what to listen to and which ones not.

The AL11(2) has an extra coating on it to help make the most of the K20D's sensor. The DAL is the lightweight lens introduced with the K-M - plastic mount - no distance scale. The Exif data thinks its an AL11, which is confusing.
MK I

MK II

However the DA L is a lightened MK II version, like Pete said.
So even if the EXIF says it's a MKII lens then it is correct, since it's only a feature difference.

Your probably better off with a 50mm lens and extension tubes or reverse mounting the 50mm lens onto your camera.

Pixel grouping would be nice for low light photoghraphy.
My GF has a Fuji F200EXR compact and it normally works as a 12MP sensor but if you switch to the 'EXR' modes it becomes a 6MP sensor with higher sensitivity and lower noise levels.
If 2 senor pixels represent one pixel on the image, whats then so different making from two image pixels one?

If you want colour accuracy then that's it.
When you want to have a good white balance then a greycard will do but colours within that can be not 99% right, if you're doing creative stuff though then a grey card will do you well.
You will probably play whit colours anyway.

This is the Christmas song for years here link
Since most don't know Dutch it would have little meaning
It's about a boy (he) and he has a rabbit called "Flappie".
On 1st Christmas morning 1961 Flappie was gone, and they went searching but he shouldn't look in the shed because he cant be there, and if he went and play on nicely he would get something sweet.
And then it was 1st Christmas evening 1961, and his father walks in with the main course... Flappie the rabbit of course
For the first time he saw his father as the worst man in the world.
Then on 2nd Christmas morning 1961, mother remembers well, fathers bed was empty.
He told to mother that she shouldn't go to the shed and if she would go and play nicely so would get something sweet
Edit: this one is nice link
