In my opinion the problem is that a "unknown" - that means "reverse engineered" format (proprietary RAW) is beeing converted to an open format (DNG). The quality of this conversion depends on the degree of successful reengineering. Proprietary RAW formats may include/contain proprietary metatags ... > DNG, despite being proprietary code from Adobe, seem to offer a standard > format and can be used without fees, that I read in Adobe's license. > And I like standards as well as open source. Me also, but only right from the starting point. E. g. a college of mine owns a Pentax camera and this one gives you the choice to save in .pef or .dng In that case I would use .dng - at least would test it extensively.
