I got a decent result with one of the latest zeranoe builds:

ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 1 -flags +ilme+ildct -top 1 -vf
scale=interl=1 -sws_flags +full_chroma_inp+full_chroma_int -c:a pcm_s16le
-ar 48000 -ac 2  dave_proresLT.mov

Setting sws_flags just makes a minimal difference. Vendor and vtag don't
make any difference at all, except the writing library metadate. Pix_fmt is
set automatically.

The standard prores encoder is even blurrier than prores_ks, but it's twice
as fast on my machine. What's interesting, DNxHD remains just as sharp when
using the intermediate bitrate (115/120/145M, 8bpc), in comparison -- so 2
more bpc doesn't automatically give you a "better" result.
