Actually, the FL models have a very flat field. Unfortunately, they also have off-axis astigmatism.

"The curved field has the advantage of very comfortable panning. That and the wide and deep view encourage you to keep these held up to your eyes longer than any binoculars I know."

PeterPS said:They definitely do, at least the 32mm models, which begs the question: do they have field flatteners, if not how do they achieve that?
"Flat field?
Like most Zeiss binoculars (the new SFs excepted), the field drops off at the edge more than in binos with field flatteners. The field is so wide that this isn’t a huge problem during the day and it does make for more comfortable panning."
