Interesting - and kind of confirms how different we can see certain aspects of IQ. To me it clearly has some 3D, or 'aliveness'. It certainly isn't flat in my eyes, even with flat, dull light.

It does have some 3D, but this is not a typical 3D scenario. To think about it, it does have enough 3D for such a flat subject. Perhaps a lower angle would have enhanced the effect.
The rope photo was shot with the ZF 35/2. The above with the 21/2.8. Both stopped a bit down. I remember some of Anden's shots with the 35/1.4, completely flat subjects, still with 3D in spades. An amazing feature of the Zeiss lenses IMO.
I'm not saying this image is "3D", just adding it to contribute to the "lens makes a difference" argument. This shot is f/11, so no DOF to talk about, but this shot was with the Zeiss 21mm. I took a similar shot with the Canon 24L II, and the image from the Canon was much flatter. Wish I still had the image to compare, but I deleted it as I was unhappy with the end result. Overall, the Zeiss has that "something special" in how it renders an image.
