Hi!
I've been thinking about this for a long time now. I have few tens of
thousands of photos that were taken by *istD (PEF) or K10D (also PEF,
shame on me). I could convert them to DNG and discard (is it smart?) the
originals.
Do you think it is a good idea? Do I need to worry about compati
I routinely convert my PEF's into DNG's on import into lightroom (and
throw away the PEF at that time) and have the lightroom catalog set to
write the metadata into the DNG. That way, if the files are moved
from one catalog to another, the keywords, develop settings etc go
with them without the ne
I keep a separate disc with DNG-versions of my PEF-files, but do not delete the
PEFs.

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).

There is some scepticism toward Adobe and formats, like PDF is not necessarily
compatible. So er cannot know for sure, and as long as I have an extra disc it
is better to be safe.

You're talking about doubling your disk usage. Disk space is cheap,
but not *that* cheap. Especially if you're talking about K-5 files
which are 2-3 times larger than the K20 files that I'm used to.
I keep lots of rendered JPEGs at various sizes. But these are all
quite small and I don't have JPEG

DNG is essentially a superset of PEF and they are both lossless
formats
My experience is that converting PEFs while importing into LR4 results
in a slightly smaller file size than shooting DNGs in camera (K-5).
Anybody else noticed this?

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 small

It's very easy to convert PEF files (any compatible native raw files,
as a matter of fact) to DNG format in Lightroom. Just select all the
PEF files in the Library module (grid view) and then choose the
"Convert to DNG" command from the Library menu
I can't think of a reason to convert to anything but the latest
version unless you haven't upgraded Lightroom or Photoshop.
