MX-1 Lens Profile

As promised, although I have submitted this to Adobe, here is a "version 1" Lens Profile for Adobe Camera Raw & Lightroom.

It's designed for the RAW files from the MX-1.
On the Mac, you shove the .lcp file in "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0/" (best to copy this to the clipboard, then Cmd+Shift+G in Finder and paste in the location)

No idea where it goes on Windows

The profile could be a bit better I reckon. It is a real faff making it, but this has 3 zoom positions and two apertures and does a pretty decent job. Only thing is that it's oddly different in the distortion correction compared to the in-camera JPG correction. Can't see exactly why!

Let me know how it works! (And donations gratefully accepted :lol

Eventually it should appear through Adobe's Lens Profile Downloader app...

Thanks Matt, I'll try and give this a go later on.

Thanks again Matt had a quick go and it works well for me, for windows users the profile goes here:

"C:/Users/username/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0"

Here's one I tried (high iso and noisy but it did have some distortion)

Not at my computer now. Is this just a file that you add to the directory?

This forum strips slashes, goodness knows why:

But yes, add it to
ProgramData-Adobe-CameraRaw-LensProfiles-1.0-Pentax

Downloaded and installed it. Now to test it. Thanks for your help.
