PEF. Because Adobe.

That's true, I recall now that I did use PEF on my *istD, but also a lot
of JPEG and TIFF.
My next camera was the K10D and I always had it on DNG.

No doubt the future for Adobe's DNG is more bright than for PEF.
The earliest Pentax DSLRs up to the *istDS had no DNG. The K10D was
the first to offer DNG.

The *ist-D allowed you to save as PEF, TIF or JPG.
Herbert Kepler recommended TIF in his Popular Photography column, so
that's what I shot in 2004.
IIRC, the TIF was available in small, medium & large, which I didn't
understand at the time. After I got home in 2005 & could buy more CF
cards fairly easily, I switched to PEF.
Continued to shoot PEF when I finally got a K10D. Began shooting DNG
files late in 2012 when I got a K20D.
Occasionally I would shoot JPEG (when I would somehow gum up the
settings) or RAW+JPEG
With the K-3 & K-1 I've shot exclusively DNG.
With the VueScan software, I can also save files from my scanners as DNG.

I shoot PEF, and convert to DNG on import with Lightroom ("Copy as DNG").
The reason I do this is that when Lightroom does the conversion, it embeds
a checksum that can later be used with "Library > Validate DNG Files" to
verify that no disk corruption has occurred. At least at the time I decided
to do things this way, DNG as shot by my cameras did not embed this
checksum.
Once a month, I select all the photos in my catalog and run the Validate
task. (Knock on wood, it has never found an error so far.)

Yes. My K110D only offers PEF. When I occasionally use it, I convert to
DNG which is the universal standard.

Thanks everyone, for your responses. The question came up in another
forum which has few Pentax users so I thought I'd poll the group of
"real" Pentax users. With few exceptions, DNG has been my format of
choice since my DS days as well.

I continued doing this when I moved on to a K5.

I shoot DNG - never did a comparison so do not know which is better. Just assumed it is the same.
