The lens data for older lenses is properly interpreted in both  
Lightroom and Bridge/Camera Raw, regardless of whether I have the  
camera set to create PEF or DNG files. Of my lenses, the DA21 and  
DA70 are not interpreted and their names don't appear in the lens  
data sections of either Bridge's metadata view or LR's metadata browser.

PPL interprets them correctly so I suspect the issue is that the  
format or specific codes have changed and Adobe hasn't yet  
incorporated the changes into their metadata parser.

I should find a pair of PEF files that were taken side by side, one  
that parses and one that doesn't, and analyze their differences... if  
I get energetic enough and care enough, of course. It seems a  
moderately trivial issue as I can stop it from happening by simply  
switching the capture mode to DNG.

K10D RAW/PEF files are losslessly compressed, K10D RAW/DNG files are  
not. This has no bearing on the metadata, they both contain the full  
complement of K10D metadata (or are supposed to).
