Hi All,
That's my first post here, so, I'll briefly introduce myself for start I'm an amateur photographer, shooting MF and LF for quite a while and together with film photography have some experience shooting MFDB - starting, from Imacon V96C, Leaf Aptus 65 and currently a proud owner of H4D-50

That is not design - that is specification. Here is Hasselblad definition of design:The issue here is the definition of "design" - Hasselblad gave the "requirements specifications": focal length, speed, size, price, usable for the central shutter (which is not made by Fuji) and certain quality requirements. Then Fuji designs and manufactures the lenses.

For example, work on the latest addition to the HC lens portfolio, the HCD 4/28, started out in Gothenburg, Sweden. Using powerful software for optical design, the characteristics of the new lens could be explored in great detail well before any glass was ground. Fujinon in Saitama City, Japan, then took up the task of refining the lens design and building a prototype series that was put through its paces at Fujinon’s and Hasselblad’s lab.
