Incorporating a simple spigot lens fitting and compatible with a choice of seven interchangeable Canon lenses, including the new RS-SL07RST 4K lens, and featuring a 1.76x motorised zoom and +/- 73 per cent vertical lens shift with minimal flare and
field curvature, the development projector will deliver accurate optics and excellent image reproduction with no distortion or aberration.

There was no evidence for astigmatism,
field curvature, or lateral chromatic aberration affecting off-axis images.
Standard lens has inherent optical aberration called
field curvature. It manifests as sharp focus in and around the center.
Field curvature is still present so the point image is not on the FPS.
The WX 10x50 IF ($6,399.95) features a proprietary field-flattener lens system to correct for
field curvature and other optical aberrations across its entire 76.4[degrees] apparent field of view, providing pinpoint stars to the edge of the periphery.
Generally, in any riflescope, distortion and
field curvature are greater at lower powers.
At the prime focus is an additional four-element lens that corrects
field curvature, critical for sharp images across the entire imaging plane.
This 2-inch unit inserts into your Newtonian telescope's focuser in front of the eyepiece or camera, correcting distorted stars near the edge of the field due to coma and
field curvature. Its four-element apochromatic design produces pinpoint, color-free stars in short-focal-ratio Newtonian reflectors as fast as f/3.
How will a particular telescope's
field curvature affect images that you shoot through it?
Designed to correct the
field curvature of f/6 to f/8 refractors, the unit is ideal for the AT106 apo reviewed by Alan Dyer this month.
