How To Achieve 3D POP in Your Images (Leica vs Zeiss)

Some say 3D pop is a myth. Only photographers who bought cheap lenses say this. 3D pop is real, let's talk about what it is, and how to achieve it in your photos and videos. Don't cheap out on your lens. Leica and Zeiss are known to have this special look, zoom lenses almost never do. It's different than Bokeh or Toneh. We have some examples today with the Sony A7S III with Zeiss 55mm f1.8, a lens with 3d pop vs the Canon 6D II with 16-35mm f2.8, a lens without 3d pop. Micro contrast is a thing.
You can achieve this look in your photography with micro four thirds too. Olympus EM1 III with Leica 25mm f1.4, known for it's pop. Fuji XH2s with 8-16mm f2.8 no pop. 18mm f1.4 some pop. Zeiss batis 25mm f2, slight pop.

    Back in the 80s I had a Canon A1 with a Canon f1.4 50mm FD lens. I took a series of photos of a cottage room that had just window illumination. I took about 8 photos and 3 photos came back with amazing 3d pop that I have not really seen since. Even people that didn't know anything about photography recognized that there was something special about those images. 3D pop is real and was real even back in the film days.

    "3D pop" is achieved by sharp focus on the subject and not overdoing the Toneh. You're welcome. 😉

    The best 3D pop comes from consuming certain types of mushrooms. Guaranteed it will look like you can walk right into your images!

    To me 3D pop happens when a) the whole subject is in focus (so not too shallow dof), b) there is noticible blurring from shallow dof to the background/foreground, and c) the non subject elements tend to run across the frame in one focal plane and not coming into/out of the camera too much (especially near the subject). I'm sure aberration and other corrections happening differently on in and out of focus elements helps though.

    Casey, 3d pop is real. I am a full time wedding photographer abd videographer, who has been shooting sony for 6 years and have tried almost every single lens made by Sony, Sigma, and Tamron. And here is my kit which has been designed entirely around 3d pop:

    1. First misconception is that lower f stops equal ''3D pop!'' Simply shooting at f1.2, does not make it a ''3D pop,'' that's just shallow depth of field aka. ''bokeh,'' that's not ''3D pop.''

    3D pop looks like you just took a small dose of LSD and its barely starting to kick in. And everything looks different, but you can't quite put your finger on it

    Excellent video about 3D pop. Theoria Apophasis made a video a few years ago about why extremely expensive Zeiss lenses like the Zeiss Otus have Chromatic Aberration is because Chromatic Aberration induces 3D pop. He explained it as being analogous

    My zeiss 100 mm 2.0 makro planar has stunning 3d pop. Same with the 85 planar 1.4. It is a function of a low element count. My zeiss/voigtlander/ 1995 nikon glass has 6 to 8 elements. A nikon 70-200 TWENTY TWO PIECES OF LIGHT SUCKING, REFLECTING, SCRAMBLING GLASS. The extreme amount of micro contrast makes the separation between edges of the subject and background crazy sharp, hence appears 3d. I am a fan of Ken Wheeler, the angry photographer and once you see the difference you will notice it's absence in high element count lenses. This also results in greater tonal transitions in shadows because the low energy shadow light hasn't been sucked out before it reaches the sensor/film. My Mamiya 645 and RB67 have 5 and 6 element lenses with not only stellar pop, but also gorgeous bokeh. Once you see this characteristic, you will be willing to use the focus confirmation arrows and meatball to nail focus on nikon dslrs. I shot a portrait the other day with the 100 mm, and with less than 4" dof, nailed the eyes sharpness on a couple using focus confirmation. And the colors you get from lenses like the voigtlander 58 1.4, every time I look a the lcd, I say wow.

    I think if you could nail the color and the exposure a little better that would make a way bigger difference than any of the lenses you're using. I still haven't seen a single frame on your channel that looks what would call "good". I do appreciate the humor, you are probably youtube's 2nd most funny camera content creator.
