DNG is an Adobe (although open) format. The Adobe utility to convert Pentax RAW (.PEF) to DNG preserves the standard Exif data like exposure and focal length. You DO loose some Pentax specific extensions to it, like exact lense naming.

Maybe the future is already here :-) (except for the real Pentax specifics) Regards, JvW ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jan van Wijk; http://www.dfsee.com/gallery
