If you're keeping the RAW files I'd say yes. After a time period
after RAW file conversion I generall delete the RAW files.
2. Should I keep backup copies of all those old PEF files, in
addition to the two backups (on & off site) I intend to make for
the DNG files?
See answer to 1. above
3. Some of the *ist-D files are .TIF files - can I, should I
convert those to DNG as well?
I wasn't aware you could convert .Tif files back to DNG
The *ist-D allowed you to use TIFF as your image format in camera.
I had a subscription to Popular Photography delivered to my APO address
in Iraq.
Herb Keppler (I think it was him) did a review of the *ist-D and he said
that since the camera offered TIFF as one of the image formats, that was
the way to go because the TIFF standard was likely to be around for a
long time and the various camera RAW formats probably not so much.
I don't know if you can convert them, but I think the DNG file will
encapsulate them.
