So this is what I wish you as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Alex,
The 3D effect is generally when you use a wider aperture and isolate your subject. This is only possible with faster lenses. If you are shooting lenses that are both set at F8 then there is not a 3D effect. This was one of the reasons that the late Henri Cartier-Bresson used an early Zeiss Sonnar 59mm F1.5 on his Leica screw mount as opposed to the slower and less sharp pre-war Leitx lenses.
