The way I read it, he's converting to DNG and then discarding the PEF
files.
Am I wrong about that?
Wrong. I'm getting DNG out of the camera, running them thru ACR and saving
as tiffs.
Actually for me, its like taking a slide. WYSIWYG after the convewrsion in
the tiff. I don't do anything wild in the RAW conversion to tiff and have
yet to regret deleting the RAW files.

1. Should I convert all the old PEF files to DNG?
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.
Wow!
To my mind, this is like: "After a time period after making prints from
my negatives, I generally throw away the negatives". Really?

More akin to getting your film back from the lab, slipping the negatives
into archival sleeves in a notebook and discarding the ENVELOPE the lab
used to return your film.
I'm not planning to get rid of the RAW files, I'm just asking if there's
any reason I should keep redundant RAW files (DNG *and* PEF) after
converting them?
