Amazing 3D pop of Zeiss lenses
1 day ago

I have used many lenses, including Zeiss primes which I love - yet, I never saw the infamous "Zeiss look" or "3D pop" in my photos. Sharpness yes. Quality of bokeh, while somewhat subjective, yes - but what is meant by "3D pop"???

Given same aperture, any Canon/Nikon/Leica-whatever lens should show the same separation of foreground to background. What am I missing?
