A few pictures taken with Samsung NX500 and 3D lens

In 2013, Samsung released an interesting lens for the newest cameras in its NX range: the 45mm f/1.8 2D/3D . When used in "normal" 2D mode, this lens is a fast short telephoto delivering sharp pictures. But when used on an NX300, NX500 or NX1 with the "2D/3D switch pulled to the "3D" position, a bit of wizardry happens inside the lens, allowing the camera to shoot two 4.1 MPixel images with a slightly different perspective with a 30ms delay between both. These two images are then saved as an MPO file and can be processed or viewed as any other MPO file from a dedicated 3D camera.

Of course, the stereo base is rather short and this lens is only suitable for subjects located 1.5m or less from the camera (like head and shoulders portraits). Here are a few pictures taken with my Samsung NX500 and this little known lens:

Cheers!

All are good! Depth-wise the first is the best.

Nice and clean images.
The larger the screen, the better depth.
On a VR device looks very good (must be eliminated the image in the right, to have a pair for parallel view).

Thank you for the kind words.

I provided the rightmost image for those who prefer x-vision to parallel view.

Cheers!

Very interesting. In fact, these are LRL (could have been RLR) triplet images. Very clever - watch the way you like!
