In my opinion, Luka ("denoir") was one of the best at showcasing the qualities of his lenses. He really made them sing... Luckily, his photos are still online, contrary to many images uploaded years ago and posted on the forum.
The so-called "3D" topic popped up in the Zeiss 35/1.4 image thread, especially when Luka started to post images made with his adapted Zeiss Distagon HFT for Rollei. I linked to the page where he started posting.
I briefly used this lens on a Sony A7r back in 2015 during a trip in the Pyrénées (France), before I switched back to a Nikon DSLR, and sold it.
The lens has character in spades, and shows spatial qualities stopped down as well. Look at this relatively planar scene shot at f/4. I don't know if this is "3D pop", but it's clearly not flat.
And those are wide open. The field curvature is massive and definitely contributes to the look.
