From Scopeviews review on the Zeiss 8x32 FL.

"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."

"Flat field?
The field has a large perfect sweet spot, but the field does curve off a lot at the very edge, where it is only good for context. This typical of most Zeiss binoculars"

"Astigmatism Very slight. 8.8/10.0"
I have never heard of the Zeiss 8x32 FL's or 7x42 FL's having a flat field. How could they if they don't have a field flattener. According to Allbino's they do not have very much astimatism either. I have always thought their softer edges was due to field curvature. That is new one on me if it is true.
