Does the Maven B.1 8x42/ 10x42 series use use Schott HT glass which sells for $900.00? That is going to make the Tract's even look better at their $200.00 lower price point than the Maven's. What is Flat Multicoating? Does it have anything to do with a flat field?
Tract spells this out. 'Flat multicoating' would refer to fully multicoated AR (anti reflection) coatings and glass spec (HT) working in concert to provide a flat(ish) transmission curve in the range 400nm to 700nm. This is to provide better colour rendition, more neutral white balance, and brightness. Tract even say there will be a peak around the green. Good moves :t:Good question, and one I asked Jon at Tract. He said there are no field flattening lenses/engineering involved. The flat mult-icoating thing, I took, as a name for the latest, greatest lens coatings.
It has nothing to do with field flattening elements which they don't have.
