      to speak clearer the 3d pop is basically when you have little corrective elements that make the background transition smoothier and have a circular distortion within the defocused area, sort of like a petzval lens. Because of low element count the lenses also have better light transmission but are generally less sharp. New lenses try to reproduce as much sharpness as possible in sacrifice of pure light transmission and flatness of plane of focus.
      In essence, the 3d pop makes images look like they're seen through the human eye, since our peripheral vision is creamier but can see detail, while the new lenses just try to keep all detail within the focus area and obliterate anything behind or in front of it.
      The more 3d pop, the less sharp usually a lens is and the more aberrations it has.

And 135 lenses do not have much of all of field curvature, you can check canons MTF curves.. the field is quite flat. "Because of low element count the lenses also have better light transmission but are generally less sharp" This is also absolute nonsense, as modern coatings reduce light loss to irrelevant amounts. And claiming that Canons 135/2 is not sharp is also nonsese, you can again look at the MTF curves.

    You can tell very well by looking at the rails, the '3D pop' comes from the smoother focus falloff on the nikon lens, keeping more in focus and smoothly transitioning to out of focus. On the sony lens on the other hand, you can tell the focus goes from in to out of focus in a straight line, creating a 'greenscreen effect' with the paperthin focusplane.

For me, it was the other way around. I went from F to Z for what the the bodies offered and primarily use F lenses, which actually work better on Z bodies.

      I think if you even took photos that had really good composition and poses and light and they look like the subject is just a cut out or somehow on a greenscreen then it still matters. There are instances when I noticed this and didn't really understand why, but I can fix them in post with contract curves now that I understand it better. If you never notice it it doesn't mean others won't notice it, be it concious or unconcious.

    Yes It is real and I finally get exactly what you mean! Subject looks green screened onto a flat background on the new sharp many element lens. Unlike the nice natural depth look of the classic lens. When your quite far away it really shows the flat background vs the 3D (like looking into the screen as if we were actually there) Nikkor 3D look I agree is worth the drop in lens sharpness

  • @Nobody-Nowhere
    @Nobody-Nowhere 3 місяці тому +38

    What you have is clearly different contrast curves on both. Just need a steeper curve on the dark on the right one and it should look quite same. So of course more contrast gives more "pop".
    When it comes to sharpness, i dont think you will ever see much difference when recording video. 4k is just 8MP, the lens should be really poor quality not to look sharp on 8MP. Those lenses are designed for 20-60MP.

    • @Nobody-Nowhere
      @Nobody-Nowhere 3 місяці тому +10

      There is one thing that could cause some sort of 3d effect, that would be having curved focus plane. This would create the effect that things on the side would be in focus closer than the center. I think this is called field curvature.

    It's 100% real. It's almost like something you feel, not see. I was using clinical glass for a long time just because I wanted to test out the new stuff coming out over the last few years, and then I bought that cheap TTArtisan 23mm 1.4 and looked at my first photo taken with it and I was like, "Well, sh*t. That was the best $70 I've spent in a long time." The pop is immediately apparent, especially if you are accustomed to clinical glass. The difference is quite stark. I went back to Voigtlander, old Fujinon, and adapting my old Soviet lenses. I don't think I'll ever buy another new lens.
    Maybe people who don't see it are lacking in some type of spatial awareness. I don't understand why people argue against the existence of certain lens characteristics. Blind men will try to persuade you that the sun doesn't exist.

    Wow, this was a really effective visual demonstration. I saw this difference once when comparing the Fuji OG 56mm T/1.2 to the Sigma 56mm T/1.4. Both were at T/1.4, both taken with the XT-3 with the same settings, and the Sigma just looked like a longer lens with the same framing. The subject's face was just flatter, both in a 3D sense as well as something about the light and color variance from one part of the subject to another. Just like with this test here.
    I appreciate that you mention it all the time and tell us to look for certain ages and brands, but it'd be dope to see an updated video with a complied list showing which lenses you personally know to have 3D pop vs which popular equivalent options lack it most. I myself would be especially interested in the FF equivalent range of about 28-100mm.

    I think the expression "3D Pop" is a rare miss from the man who gave us "toneh". When I think 3D pop I think of the green screen effect that the subject "pops" in relation to. So when I hear 3D pop I think of the flat background that the subject pops in relation to. In contrast, the other lens has micro contrast. Not a sharp juxtaposition with the background, but a layered participation in it. I see it! Micro contrast is real! It's just one of those times the original is better, "micro contrast" explains it better than "3D pop".

    falloff makes a huge difference...the more gradual change from in focus to out of focus feels more realistic....but the most impactful 3d effect is always dimensionality...where the curvature of an object is more apparent...this is so apparent on some Zeiss lenses it almost surreal...a mix of gentle falloff with intense field curvature...very "imperfect" lenses that create a visual effect that's hard to ignore.

    I've seen it. As my Sony Carl Zeiss 85mm 1.4 ZA and 135mm 1.8 A-mount with La-ea4 adaptor. I absolutely adore them.

    3D pop was best with sensors that employed a low-pass filter. The creamy color- and in-to-out-of-focus transitions were on another level. I'm surprised more people aren't noticing the uglier, sharper, sometimes weirdly double-vision-type out-of--focus backgrounds with the modern mirrorless cameras. The colors, even of the most distant objects, look like painted over by a school kid in arts class - this has its place and time, but in photography? A few years ago I was traveling around my area in search of places of interest and I bumped into a bunch of sites from WW1. There were boards standing in the middle of the woods with photos from the era and they blew me away. The 3D pop was the best I've seen, and every scene was absolutely immersive. Zero weird artifacts, just art. In this regard, for me, the D850 was a disappointment after the modest D700, so was the X-T3. I have since reconciled myself with the sad direction digital photography is going but still cling to the Nikon D3s and a couple of old lenses to enjoy the more natural look and transitions.

    "...what kind of photography do you do? And why isn't it video?..." LOL!! I would love to see you do a video with some of FD lenses. I have a couple and really like the look for photography(FD135mm f3.5, FD28mm f2.8). I would love to get a wider FD like the 17mm or 24mm but they are really expensive these days. I'm told it's because videographers like them. So, I'd love to see you do a video about them just to see why they are loved so much. I see it too. The image is more real because the glass isn't clinically perfect. I do think that it's more acceptable for video than for photography to have that classic look with various imperfections. Thanks for the lesson today!!

    • @Digitalfiendscom
      @Digitalfiendscom 3 місяці тому +1

      While it could possibly be the lens, I think it's more likely that you're seeing the better sharpness from the oversampled 4K of the Z6iii sensor. Throw the mystery lens on an A7cii and you'd probably notice the image is sharper like the Nikon (as the A7cii is oversampled 4K as well and is sharper than the ZV-E1 - I've got both cameras and it is noticeable).

  • @jimmay8627

    Before, I wondered whether "3D pop" just meant LoCA. After viewing this and reading comments below about "focus falloff", I thought the recipe might include spherical aberration.
    Then I read this by tech-utuber2219 down below:
    "Each lens optical design has characteristics which we perceive as having different qualities which judge to be pleasing or sharp or, etc. Whatever you wish to call the depth-of-field 'gradients' or focus zone or background bokeh, it sometimes resembles things which we may experience as realistic, i.e., 3D-pop in this context. We don't need to agree since we cannot escape our subjectivity."
    And then I understood. It's a redux of what's been happening in the audiophile world, where they are turning away form the "flatness" of digital perfection in favor of turntables, tube amps and their idiosyncratic foibles. What those foibles may be, doesn't really matter.
    That's not to say that such is a bad thing. It would be remiss of me to think so when I have (and will never sell) the same Canon 135mmf2 and the 5D Classic it was originally bought for, and am de-yellowing a Super Takumar 50/f1.4 as I type this. I too am a fan of lens character and rendering. I even like manual focus ;)
    So now, when I see or hear "3D pop" I'll just remember tech-utuber2219's summary and enjoy your videos.

  • @stevenjohnson4283
    @stevenjohnson4283 3 місяці тому +1

    At first I wasn't seeing it, but later the overall look of the left lens form Canoon was more poppy. Its to do with the way the Bokeh or out of focus areas fall off. The right lens was obliterating the background into smooth and buttery bokeh, whereas the Canoon's bokeh was not and so giving a sense of spatiality. Of course along with the secret special sauce of Chromatic Aberrations to enable the 3D effect.

    What the right side has is more saturated colors, a slightly shallower DOF and, in my eyes most importantly, a less symmetrical perspective. What is also has is better autofocus.

    That’s the mother of all Conspiracies. 3D pop is the same at same focal distance, subject distance and aperture. Sharpness is what separates the most focus/out of focus and that’s why there is that green screen effect.

    There is a spectrum of poppiness, and the Canon lens here is noticeably poppier, but perhaps not the best example of maximum pop. When I was a kid, Viewmasters were popular, and since we didn’t have video games, we spent hours looking at stereo views of tourist attractions. Maybe that experience trained my brain to see 3D pop. Or maybe we need modern digital stereo cameras to create real 3D effects…
    I am willing to admit that Zeiss pop and Leica glow are really just particular blends of lens defects. When lens design was always a compromise, and designers chose the compromise that gave them their signature look. Now those defects have been eliminated, leaving us with no character. I’m happy that I can just say no to perfection, and embrace the old imperfect lens designs.

  • @ak4good
    @ak4good 3 місяці тому +2

    How come no stopped down comparison? I thought 3D POP is more apparent that way because lenses with it still provide subject separation? As far as these two lenses, the f/2 on the left definitely looked better to my eye, though I'm curious how much of that is because it had more contrast.. As another comment mentioned, it'd be interesting to see the f/1.8 footage with contrast tweaked to more closely match the f/2 lens?
