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

My experience is that converting PEFs while importing into LR4 results
in a slightly smaller file size than shooting DNGs in camera (K-5).
