That nose rendering article was pure garbage, the lighting were so different on each image, you could not possibly draw any conclusions from it.

Want to experience 3D Pop first hand? Shoot a subject in backlight and pull the shadows and add some clarity. Subject will stand out from the background in a way that your brain will thinkg it's a 3D image. Of course, you need a lens that is sharp (microcontrast) to begin with and pulls off an image with enough contrast in backlit situation for this to work. If your lens can pull it off, it means it has some pretty good optics to begin with. Zeiss T* lenses are known for their performance in such conditions, so people mistake that for having the 3D "Zeiss Pop". It's actually just good performance in backlit conditions which you wouldn't get with another lens. Even Zeiss were talking in an interview that photographic style changed a lot in the past years due to new, better designed glass enabling photographers to shoot in lighting conditions where it wasn't possible to get a good image before.

You see, it almost made sense for a moment.
Jokes aside, yes I find a few lenses to have a better, more 3D rendering. I can't quite put my finger on how it's made but somehow almost all of them carry the Zeiss badge, including some CZ Jena lenses.
