Colin, if my memory still works alright, the 43 or 31 is known to be such lens (not sure which one). The DA*55 is... well a nice dream for now.
I know how to quickly check if the VF or the lens (or both) is the 'culprit'. I need to buy more lenses for C330 and I'll quickly see. The 55mm as definitely on the radar but so much expensive I'll probably get the 65 instead. 2011/1/13 Collin Brendemuehl <[email protected]>: > The "3d" look has everything to do with the lens > and at the same time > everything to do with the perception of the viewing individual. > > We do not all see things the same.
