Well there was a debate about "what is the 3D effect " and IMHO most people accept "what pops out of the picture" if in depth it's more of a wow. Amongst the less expensive lenses, I've found my nikkor 50mm f1.8 AIs is very good at times for 3D effect in depth.

Also a cheaper alternative to CZ T* is the S-M-C Takumar 50 1.4 that is very good at this, I usually use f/4 for best 3D rendering.
An even cheaper alternative is the Helsios 44-3 MC that also has some 3D quality stepped down.
Two other lenses that I sometimes get 3D shots with are Leitz Elmarit-R 60 2.8 and CZJ Flektogon 35 2.4 MC
All of the above can give "real" Zeiss T* 3D pop, and not only shallow DOF.

I find that my Pentacon 50 f1.8 surprises me sometimes, especially when there's bold colours involved. Then I can see a very nice 3D effect.

I must say the expression 3D as a praising description for a lens seems pretty awkward to me. Meaning nothing.

Meh. People can say the same about the "dreamy bokeh" or about the micro-contrast or tonal gradation of the lens. It's a tool and you have to wield it properly to accentuate it's characteristics and make a good picture. Exceptional bokeh, sharpness, contrast, 3d are meaningless if the picture is poorly composed. |

My sentiments also, the best equipment will not turn you into the best photographer until you learn how to use their unique characteristics. |

I always thought most of the "3D effect" of a photograph is based on its composition. Namely, objects fading in and out of the plane of focus around the main subject of interest.

erm well we all can't be top photographers so if a person wants 3d effect even on crap shots, and has the money to buy decent lenses..that's his hobby and no one else's business. So whether sinner79 is a pro, amateur or newbie, members should give him answers to what lenses are more likely to give 3d.

what is 3d effect, sinner79?
please explain what you know about it
have you seen some pics with 3D effect, can you show them to us
do you own a 3D TV?
personally I have a 60" 3D TV so I can speak about 3D

I don't see why a poorly composed picture can't have a 3D effect...
What sinner79 is saying above doesn't have much to do with 3D IMO though. That's just subject isolation, which can make the subject look flat, but separated from the background. |

There are principles defining lens speed and focal length correlation and resulting background blur. There is no need to add new meaning to 3D notion which is already becoming valueless (empty) due to commercialization of 3D TV and cinema.

Right after i wrote above i remembered ZOOM lenses that have separate macro (close focus) ring which works independently from focusing and zoom. With them sometimes one can achieve nice background blur even at F3.5 or more. Maybe such zooms deserve separate thread.

edit: screwed up the original post by editing wrong message 
I wrote that I think 3D is more "dimensionality", a capability to produce "touchable" and "natural" look in images. I don't find shallow depth of field to equal 3D, especially not if bokeh is swirly.
I also recommended Distagon 21/2.8 for dimensionality even at f/8 and almost infinite depth of field, as well as Nikkor 35/1.4G AF-S, Planar 85/1.4 ZF and Nikkor 50/1.4 Ai-S for fingerprint that gives very dimensional/3D look in images.
