MEF at a glance
MEF
Convert to MEF when preserving Mamiya camera originals or maintaining compatibility with medium-format photographic workflows that still expect that raw format.
It is appropriate for archive masters and non-destructive editing.
NUMBERS at a glance
NUMBERS
Convert to NUMBERS when the recipient is expected to work further in Apple Numbers, especially for schedules, lightweight financial sheets, classroom materials, or visually arranged tables in Mac- and iPad-based workflows.
It is useful when the Apple editing experience matters more than cross-platform ubiquity.
For broad office interoperability, XLSX is usually the safer spreadsheet target.
