Thanks.

Your channel is a breath of fresh air from all other channels. Like the lecture style of your videos. I have tried your 3d pop formula and in my opinion it works. Thank you.

Please elaborate. Which lenses did you compare? How? What are your findings?

​@@sneye1Tried the viltrox 23mm 1.4 18% ed and 1.1 complexity no pop. The viltrox 56mm 1.4 10% ed and 1.11 complexity was much better than the 23mm in pop. The most impressive lens is the 40mm nikon z which has no ed and the complexity is 1.5 which achieves a lot of pop. It maches the matches the nikon 58mm which also has no Ed and a 1.5 complexity. The 85mm nikon z is interesting in that it has 16.6 % Ed but the complexity is 1.5, to me it has some pop.

​@@jaimediaz9687Thanks. Valuable information. I am considering ways to validate the model. Observations such as yours are massively helpful.

@@sneye1 Two other lenses that I have not tried but did the calculations which impress me are the 50mm 1.2z with only 11% Ed and 1.5 complexity and the best one the 85mm 1.2z which has 6% Ed and 1.5 complexity. Sadly they are too expensive for me to try them. Another lens which youtubers have praised a lot is the nikon 24-120z f4 which has 25% Ed and 1.23 complexity is seriously flat for portraits. Compared that to the super zoom 28-400mm nikon z which I own which has 19% Ed and 1.4 complexity ironically is better than the 24-120.

Let me recommend the 50 f1.8 Z. I have it. Not bad at all, despite having some ED. As to 85mm, the 85 f1.4 G has no match in Z mount. It is lovely.

Blind tests. Data. Statistical analyses. The forming and reviewing of hypotheses... the scientific method! How refreshing 😄 Thank you, and I intend to keep watching as you have any further to add.

Thanks. Sometimes I am left aghast by how little critical thinking is applied to "opinions" on photography channels. Scientific methodology has its merits.
