I'm a big fan of DNG and convert my raw files immediately.
I'm a big fan of having an open-raw format, but I have yet to see
a way that DNG benefits me. There is no open-source converter, nor
even a linux binary that I know of, so I have no way of converting
my .PEF's to .DNG. On the other hand, the plain-vanilla C-code of
dcraw can handle the only slightly odd TIFF file format that .PEF's
actually are. I can be assured that I can compile the code as it
exists today on a future platform.
Just checked: Vuescan 8.3.40 supports DNG RAW files on Linux.
