The last part of this thread is supposed to be about modern lenses but allow me to place just a few from how this challenge was met 30-40 years ago. The identity of the lens is not important (many from that era do as well), but these images are all at near normal focal lengths and not at the golden hour or high latitudes many employ to give their images shape. Most lack leading lines, or near-far compositions. They have to stand and deliver or fail in the attempt, with no tricks!
What is important is the lens's ability to separate color tones to a fine level, enabling mountains, trees and water to show a wide range of hues and tones that assist in producing the depiction of 3D despite sharpness being merely in the medium/high range. (can we stop calling it 'POP' please, the term is gross, trivial and uninformative).
It is not only that your pictures show the separation of depth but also your words and explanations are full of passion and extremely helpful detail. Your photos always show your signature - amazing.

Great perception and work! Thanks a lot!
