For those interested in Hasselblad's aproach to lens design and in particular how DAC corrections work - you will find a very interesting and thought provoking article in the latest issue of Victor. This is an online publication.
A number of thought provoking issues emerge- in particular the fact that high resolution digital capture makes it more diffcult for lens design to deliver super sharp images at any distance.
Interestingly - Hasselblad point out the difference betwen C lenses and H lenses in terms of strengths and weaknesses for both.

Recommended for people who prefer not to satisfy themeselves with repeating other people's BS. It seems that Mamiya is embarking on a similar philosophy with their new D spec lenses and coming corrections in Capture One.
I would be very skeptical of third party software that does not have access to the lens maker's prottype optic algorythms in applying DAC corrections and yet claims to be able to apply same.
