With which RAW converter, Fishy? I saw mottling in skies using DXO Opitcs Pro so dropped it for usage with the S5 but LR works beautifully for me.

I started off using LR but it's not my thing and now I use Adobe Camera Raw. It's a long time since I used Fuji's own antiquated software, a clunky affair which looked like it came from the Windows 98 era. I looked around for the Fuji software they used to sell but only got an older version. The problem is most obvious  on 1:1 viewing and largely on overcast skies where the change in tone in areas is relatively subtle. I suppose I really should post a couple of samples.

It probably is something to do with the way Adobe has reverse-engineered the way to read Fuji files and the interpolation. This behaviour came from the files of 4 different bodies I tested with ACR and it's so blatant it's unlikely to be the sort of thing Fuji would let pass with their own converter.
