https://www.artphotoacademy.com/medium-format-why-on-earth/This guy is half right in his definition, he just botches it up later with nonsense about lenses. There is more of a 3d pop in MF. But it's got nothing to do with microcontrast or any other pseudo science bs. It's got little to do with resolution either. It's the lenses. MF lenses are less curved than FF lenses. Always will be. At equivalent focal length ff will always be more curved, and there is nothing FF designers can do about it. Now, doing really shallow fow, shooting MF not to it's advantages, or messing up plenty of other small details, will almost completely negate this advantage, fact that is completely lost on many MF shooters. Fact is also that you can't get this in FF, it's the reason people move from it when they realise this shortcoming.
