first, you should tick two boxes: "Write final refined model into mmCIF 
file" and "Write Fobs, Fmodel and R-free-flags into mmCIF file". Then 
after refinement you should get two CIF files *_refine_*.cif (refined 
model) and *_refine_*.reflections.cif (reflections).

CIF with reflections contains these fields:

loop_
   _refln.index_h
   _refln.index_k
   _refln.index_l
   _refln.F_meas_au
   _refln.F_meas_sigma_au
   _refln.pdbx_FWT
   _refln.pdbx_PHWT
   _refln.pdbx_DELFWT
   _refln.pdbx_DELPHWT
   _refln.pdbx_r_free_flag
   _refln.status
   _refln.pdbx_F_calc_with_solvent
   _refln.pdbx_phase_calc_with_solvent

where F_meas_au is a name for Fobs (clearly, a weird way to name Fobs, 
not sure who invented it!).

This is what I get myself using the latest code. Is it different for you?

mmtbx.prepare_pdb_deposition seems to broken: I just ran a sample 
example where I asked to output model and reflection CIFs, and then 
supplied them to mmtbx.prepare_pdb_deposition and it crashed. Also, it 
crashes if I give it PDB and MTZ from refinement.
