My reading of the Tim Grey comment and other bits and pieces is that we who start with DNG will forever lose the Pentax unique data because there is no slot in the DNG package for that. As I write that, it seems to me that it doesn’t make sense. I would think that any miscellaneous data would be written to a unused data field, probably never to be retrieved again. But it seems it should be there somewhere…
