Subject: 3D quality in a lens?
What is meant when a lens is described as having a "great 3 dimensional quality"? Or "it gives photos a 3 dimensional feel"? I've heard this term used several times in describing lenses, mostly WA's. How does a lens lend a 3D quality to a photograph?
For me, it is how the lens renders in focus subjects to out of focus backgrounds. Some lenses (the FA77 LTD is one) renders the subject to background with a palpable feeling that their is some depth to the image, and that if you reached out, you could wrap your hand around the subject.
Sorry, I don't know how to describe it better, but I know it if I see it..
