I think the DL2 PEF files are the same format as DS, DL, DS2 PEF
files. Camera Raw v3.3 rejects them because the camera descriptor is
not in its internal list. I searched the Camera Raw binary with a hex
file editor and found "Pentax *ist DS2" (as well as the 'D', 'DS' and
'DL' models) listed in two places. In a DS PEF file, I found the same
string... I think that if I edited a of Camera Raw v3.3 and changed
the 'S' to an 'L' on that string, it would have no problem.
I don't have a DL2 PEF file to examine or test with, though. If you
want to send me one, I can give it a try.

excuse me if this question has already been asked.
Is there a way of getting CS to read istDL2 RAW files?
I've downloaded the latest plug in from Adobe that mentions DS2 and
DL, but that still gives me a file format error.
Am I doing something stupid or do I have to persevere with the
Pentax RAW converter until Adobe get round to writing one?
