Since K-7 I shoot exclusively in DNG. In fact, I chose Ricoh GXR over
other similar cameras also because its native RAW format is DNG.
It is just that I have about 10K shots made with *istD and 20K shots
made with K10D that are PEFs. I should have switched to DNG with K10D,
but PEFs were smaller and I had to be frugal with my HDD space... Now
it's time to face the music, so to say.

I do what Alastair does. I've shot raws since 2007 and I've tossed out
all the PEFs, keeping only the converted DNGs (some 37,000 of them).
DNG is essentially a superset of PEF and they are both lossless
formats. DNG has wide industry support, and is a de facto standard.
PEF is unique to Pentax and Pentax supports both.
What about shooting with DNG as your raw format instead of PEF? Pros & Cons?
That's what i do. I don't see a downside, and i know i can convert my files on
almost any computer, anywhere in the world. i see no reason to shoot PEF.
