Removing NEX CFA filter

Thanks for the link!

After 5+ years of experience and unspeakable amount of cash spent, my only suggestion on that route is- AVOID.

AFAIK, only one has done a NEX successfully and it will be available as a service for any/ everyone, once they publish the details. It will be revealed when they are ready to do that. My part in that was to offer encouragement and provide some initiative. I hope to get hold of one monochrome NEX in my hands soon and use it myself.

I will venture to say that I have seen samples from a first such sample and looks nice and clean- totally a professional job. :)

OK, I've tried it briefly, and yes the files are nice.
Before I get too euphoric though, I need to try opening the RAW files with something other than the Sony software, as I feel it is applying the demosaicing process. If this is detrimental to the "result" then I'd rather not use it.
DCRAW is one program that I've heard about, but I am in the dark as to how to use it.
Anyone want to walk me through this please.

Hi Gary,

The link given by mbroomfield has links to it. I have no experience, myself.

has any one does a comparison of a 5n monchrome moded version, vs a normal bayer 5n that has the raw converted to JPG?
