Field flatteners

Visual astronomer here who has never had a need of a field flattener, hence the possibly unsophisticated question...

I've acquired a gorgeous William Optics FLT 132 refractor from a deceased estate. It's a scope that would take some extremely pretty pictures if I were to go down that route.

William Optics have a few field flatteners and reducers which they promote as compatible with the scope.

Question: are field flatteners very specific to specific makes and models of scopes, so if I need a field flattener I should buy the WO one, or would there be a variety of models I could choose from?
