Boris - A few weeks ago I posted a comparison of the data displayed from a PEF, DNG and compressed DNG as read by the Pentax software and Adobe Raw Converter. It's probably still in the archive.
The data itself probably isn't all that interesting, but there were several differences in the way data was displayed. The general flow was something like this: Pentax software reading a PEF had the most complete data DNG read by Pentax software had almost or just as complete data ACR had less complete data Pentax reading a compressed DNG didn't read out anything I don't remember the remaining combination. At any rate, the data from DNGs displayed by ACR was enough for me. I'm not compressing them until the next version of ACR is released. I'll see if there are any differences at that time. I think the data is there, the differences are in how the different programs interpret and display it.
