1. Should I convert all the old PEF files to DNG?
If you're keeping the RAW files I'd say yes. After a time
period after RAW file conversion I generall delete the RAW
files.
Wow!
To my mind, this is like: "After a time period after making
prints from my negatives, I generally throw away the negatives".
Really?

The way I read it, he's converting to DNG and then discarding the
PEF files.
Am I wrong about that?
More akin to getting your film back from the lab, slipping the
negatives into archival sleeves in a notebook and discarding the
ENVELOPE the lab used to return your film.
I'm not planning to get rid of the RAW files, I'm just asking if
there's any reason I should keep redundant RAW files (DNG *and*
PEF) after converting them?
Proof of ownership for copyright purposes maybe?
Practically useless unless you register the copyrights, and if you *do*
register them, you don't need the PEFs for proof.
