I know this has been debated quite much and that it is somewhat weird
to talk about 3D in a photograph but...
man, my C330 does throw at me exactly that in its waist level finder
and 80mm/2.8 lens.
Is that the lens? The finder? Medium format DOF ?
I'm surprised and... impressed !
I think that 3D look has to do with specifics of how we psychologically
perceive images. My understanding is that on 6x6 camera 80 mm lens has
approximately the same angle of view as 50 mm lens on 35 mm camera -
normal. It also occurs to me that may be MF viewfinders are just right
in a sense of how large/small they are. I remember distinctly the same
feeling of surprise looking through Jostein's Pentax 645 camera - the
striking sense of presence, as if being inside the scene. Another thing
to consider is tonality and OOF. If there is a smooth transition between
dark and light and sharp and not sharp, it probably looks more real. It
is because the eye would adjust itself according to the specific small
area in the scene at which it is staring and it would basically feel
"normal". Smaller cameras and hence wider lenses (for purpose of similar
angle of view) would have this "everything is sharp" kind of perception,
although its degree would differ from camera to camera and from lens to
lens.
I would be curious to know if the 3D feel is retained in the prints that
you evidently make, Thibs.
Hope I make minimal sense.
