.RAF conversion results (July 2012)
The Fuji sensor arrangement makes the conversion RAF to JPG challenging for everybody. I tested 3 applications but still have not found the “Holy Grail” of Fujifilm sensors.
Silkypix (provided): the images are soft, have a “blue” tone and can not solve the greens very well. The results are so mediocre that I thought it was a problem with the camera. Anyway colors are uniform and noise is undetectable so can be useful in some cases.
Lightroom 4: is a good compromise, not so sharp but not so noisy and plenty of controls. But you need to pay for it, learn to use it, and it is not the “official” converter. If you have it, use it.
Therapee 4: gives the sharper and noisier results, it is free and can give good results. The photo size is the same than in .RAF, which is smaller than 4000x3000. It is a good complement for Silkypix users.
JPG from the camera: results are the best and are not time consuming, but you have few controls over it and need to be preset. M size (6mp) is sharper than L size (12mp), Astia film and highlights in low are advisable too.
I wish some company develop a better product to convert these .RAF files easily and better, meanwhile I shoot JPG and for important events RAF + JPG, a big SD card is mandatory.
Good shoots and better conversions ;)
Freeze blotter test in the Seed Health Laboratory at CIMMYT. To detect specific fungi, seed is incubated in ideal fungal growing conditions. Technicians look for distinctive growths of fungal species of quarantine concern. The seed is briefly frozen before incubation to prevent germination.

Test Roll of Lomography CN 400 in my new Lomogrpahy Konstruktor DIY SLR.
The lens on this still picks up quite a lot of detail. Some loss of resolution and CA/fringing towards the corners. Personally I prefer the look of pictures taken on with a Recesky, if we're doing a DIY head to head.
Overall the pictures are okay. I don't think I'd be using it that often, the 1/80 shutter speed is just a bit too slow unless you stop and stand still.
Also it likes to eat film.

Testing the deployment of the Sentinel-1A radar antenna in the cleanroom at Thales Alenia Space in Cannes, France, on 21 January 2014. As the satellite is designed to operate in orbit, it is hung from a structure during tests to simulate weightlessness.
