Not applicable, What the camera does generate the RAW data is not relevant to .pef RAW vs .dng RAW because they both should be holding the EXACT SAME RAW DATA generated from the same camera, and hence there should be no differnce when a pef or a dng file data is run thru a RAW convertor which is what this thread was discussing... jco
