Precisely. Our advice is "don't convert your files to DNG but if your camera suports DNG format itself use it". Btw, the issue here has nothing to do with DNG vs ORF, it's most likely just a bug. The DNG conversion just makes darktable treat the camera differently hiding the bug. Has someone actually submitted a bug report with an example case?
