I think I heard a rumour that there was to be a special retro film makers silent camera for the 100th year Celebrations. B&W only obviously. Asahi Brass f/10 Lens. 10fps (sometimes) video with built in fx such as flickering and burnt out picture..... realistic scratches and fake projector acetate burns. Special presentation slides with written dialogue such as "Meanwhile Back at the Ranch" plus a book of pianoforte score suitable for playing along to your homemade movies

Free family pass to a local flea pit to watch a Talkie

From the days when the words movies and Pentax were inseparable a chance to win one of these with the 100 year logo

Samsung cameras were Doomed! from the minute they switched over to mirrorless

There is a rumour that Pentax might use a Samsung sensor in a future camera.

Pentax celebrate 100 years next year and I expect a Big Bang! from the explosion of the new releases

Best of luck with the move Don. Video is becoming very specialized and expensive so I'm not surprised that Pentax are honest and not trying to pretend to be supporting it. It would have been the very basic end of video no matter what they did. Even Panasonic realize that they need to move on to FF to keep up.

Even Youtubers are doing a lot of sophisticated stuff with video now using expensive gear.

Fast eye-detection AF wouldn't be any use on that lot

Nice photos though.

I didn't think any version of LR could handle PS with movement.

The redred stuff is a few years old and he doesn't need motion so can manage without RT.

This guy uses Silkypix and finishes off in Photoshop. Click on 'Original Size'

Possibly not enough to sharpen in that example. The amount of sharpness needs tweaking to suit each program.

This thread may help although it's about two years old.....

I've got a K-1, but haven't done any PS yet. From a rough test I did in the house it looked like if you set DNG + JPG it made the PS JPG in camera so that would be useful as a guide or even the finished job if it's good enough.

It sounds like you have sharpening on in LR but off in RT. Everybody else seems happy with RT.
