Sample .PEF RAW files

Robertl · 03-30-2020, 07:35 AM

Hi everyone. I'm in need of some sample .PEF RAW files in order to do some testing when using it with an open source RAW decoder called lensfun. Would anyone here be willing to share some sample files with me? They don't need to be anything special...probably your junk images that you haven't deleted yet. I just need images with color and shapes. Street shots, landscapes with sky, whatever. I just need some stuff with colors in them so I can verify accuracy.

I need .PEF files, not .DNG files

If anyone here would help me with this I would be grateful.

I can send you some, but your email inbox must be capable of handling large attachments as my K-70 PEF files run about 30 mb.

Welcome to the Pentax Forums! Folk tend to shoot DNG round these parts, but I might be able to find a few PEF for you. I will PM you with a link to the files. FWIW, you may want to put out a specific request for pixel shift and HDR shots as well, since both include nested PEF and present a bit of a twist to RAW parsing.

Is this the same lensfun described as "The goal of the Lensfun library is to provide a open source database of photographic lenses and their characteristics", and has its source repository here The world?s leading software development platform · GitHub › lensfun › lensfun.
if not you might have to consider that the name is already in use.

Cheers,
Terry

Yes, I'm doing open source work for both lensfun and libraw. I'm just an average Joe doing small things for a big project

If you could include any pixel shift images or in camera HDR images in PEF format that would be great. They don't need to be 'nice' pics. Just clear with colors.. I don't care if it's a lego man.
