Nixland, stopping down does not help much when you have a frontal subject of small size with a distant frontal background, all in flat lightning. It is unavoidable to obtain flat photos in such conditions.

OK, I see.

There is more than one way to skin a cat in obtaining 3D pop, that is for sure. I must say that certain lenses do give more reward when you nail all conditions: good subject-background distance, appropriate aperture and working distance and good light (duh).
Wide open aperture is not a necessity, below are three different ways of obtaining the pop:
Leica Summicron-R 50/1.4 @ f/5.6 at close range (3m), ray of sunlight struck the model, Leica glass did the rest 
Contax Planar 50/1.7 @ f/5.6 at close range using the camera pop-up flash as fill-in flash.
Leica Summicron-R 50/2 @ f/8 using the effect of motion blur really lets the subject stand out.
I am sure there are numerous alternatives to these scenarios, even though it looks like German glass does help in most cases
The Takumar 50/1.4 and Helios 58/2 are two good examples of non-German glass that gave me good results as well, like other posters already mentioned.

Agree with that. Some f/2.8 shots of my f/1.4 lens looks more pop-out than at wide open. It all depends on the condition.

Here's a photo that I took yesterday with Leica M9 camera and Zeiss Biogon 2/35 lens:
It was taken at f/8 (!) and shows I think that 3D the way I mean it can obtained also with apertures like f/8 or f/11, if the most foreground object is very close.
Like already said, it's a matter of composition, lighting, lens, and correct aperture for the situation.
If I took this photo at wide open, the result would have been not just totally different, but also totally not 3D.
What surprised me is that I didn't think that the Biogon 2/35 could render such remarkable 3D, as it is one of the most corrected lenses that I know.
But the great microcontrast and the great quality of bokeh, coupled with the narrow aperture, the very foreshortened perspective,
and the modeling sunlight, create just the right mix for the ass of the horse to look as round as a snooker ball

To be honest, I'm not really seeing much 3D here, Orio. Maybe the problem is that you have seen a much bigger version on your own screen, and the 3D effect always works much better on larger display sizes. |

To me, a 3D effect must cause the subject to stand out from the rest of the image, not just the background. To do this effectively, both the background and the foreground must be out of focus. This is pretty easy to do with macro shots or when using long telephotos. When using shorter focal lengths, it can become more of a challenge, but it is certainly not impossible.
I dug through an assortment of my old slide scans, and I've come up with this one as an example to what I mean.
Canon F-1, probably 300mm f/4, taken in 1987
Probably not the most effective example, but it gets my point across, at least.
On the other hand, if I were wearing a set of 3D glasses and Orio's horse swished its tail, I'd move my head to get out of the way

It's very difficult to achieve 3D effect w/o tricks like emphasizing DOF, motion blur etc.
But you did it, Orio!

I've found the 3-d thing such that if you're not sure, it probably isn't. With my eyes, I think Omar's Distagon shots have a 3-d appearance, and while some others are close or somewhat 3-d-ish, most are just good examples of subject separation from the background. I can't say that I've had one that screams 3-d, but maybe some close ones that are a little more than just subject separation...
Komura 135mm
Vivitar 135mm Series 1
Tair-11 133mm

I think that is just because of the directional light (shadow on the side and next to the tail). If you'd use some fill light the effect would be mostly gone, I think. |

In my opinion, the Canon picture doesn't look like it has 3D to me. I had a 70-300/4-5.6 IS and that made horrible flat images every time.

This photograph has in a way answered my question in the link below. By comparison it is no where near as sharp as a lot of photographs in this thread.
