What point is there in considering versions of DNG Converter and
Camera Raw which have been superceded, if you are thinking of moving
to DNG format now/in the future? That's like saying, "I'd like to
consider one of the new IBM ThinkPads, but ya know the IBM PC/AT had
a rather bad reliability record."
The latest, *current* version of DNG Converter and Camera Raw, right
now, is v3.3. My comment is with respect to the latest version.
Camera Raw and DNG Converter v3.1 (delivered approximately 10 months
ago, just after the arrival of Photoshop CS2) corrected the omission
of private makernotes data in DNG files made with prior versions.
Since the only software that ever actually used this data was the
Pentax Lab and Browser, which are usually regarded as dismal
bits&bytes anyway, the omission was trivial anyway, but it has been
corrected.

I am not sure in which version it was corrected (3.2 or 3.3).
Easy: none.
I think that this has been beaten to death already, but can
someone who
knows summarize exactly what metadata gets lost when a files is
converted
from Pentax Raw to Adobe DNG?
