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.

That's my take on it as well. I've shot DNG ever since that became an
option. It means I can open the DNGs in PS3 whereas I'd need to
upgrade Photoshop if I shot PEFs (or convert them to DNG in post -
which would be pretty pointless). I haven't bothered to convert the
PEFs from the *istDS but I may do one day.
