<< Leitz made a
 very good explanation of why curvature is not a problem and in fact may be
 usefull in their explanation of the 400 f6.8 Telyt when it was introduced.
 
 They explained that the edges actually focus closer than the center, thus
 allowing the foreground of a picture to be in focus when it may not have
 been if the field were flatter. >>

This is an excuse - not a reason.  They would have made it flat if they could
have, keeping all other aspects the same.
