I quit using Unsharp Mask. Depending on the lens I will tweak the Sharpness. That provides Deconvolution

Good point. Before DPP I used to apply a small amount of "Capture Sharpening" before saving as a TIFF in order to combat the blurring effects of the AA filter. Now the functions are much more sophisticated (incl Deconvolution by particular lens model in DPP).  As a note: Lightroom and DXO use Deconvolution functions too for those who use those programs.

Where and when and how much do you apply your "Sharpness?"

I do use a strength of 3 in DPP's "Image lens correction" tool as a default to all images (forgot to mention this earlier). As you mention, DLO (DPP's image lens correction tool) can work wonders with certain lenses, (and I've found the effects to be minimal with other lenses like my beloved 400).

Great that you brought this up. A very important and powerful tool!
