I'm interested what you'd suggest in processing to make them more equal?To me there are clear differences in those shots which could have been more equalised in processing.
The reason I mentioned focal length rather than FOV was due to trying to understand why there's more 3D effect. Obviously 25mm on m4/3 will give pretty much the same FOV as 50mm on FF, but the lens characteristics are different due to the fundamental difference in focal length and I wondered if that made a differenceI don't think focal length is the right phrase here, I think FoV is better as that allows us to consider different focal lengths on different formats if the FoV ends up about the same. As above, I think the effect you are looking for is at least possible with smaller apertures if other things needed fall into place but you're not going to get the exact ultimate look you'll get from a specific FF camera and lens from any other format and lens as the differences just mount up.
I'm not sure we're all talking about the same thing tbh as the effect is far less pronounced the smaller the aperture, I've never seen it at f5.6 for example.
I don't think people should be upset for you having an opinion, certainly doesn't bother me. My preference is for shallow DOF and I'm probably the worst for overdoing it, but it's a look I like when I have a particular subject in the frame as opposed to a landscape for exampleAt the risk of upsetting people who live for shallow DoF and remembering that it's something we all do from time to time I do think it can be overdone. I do this too but mostly when I've just bought a lens and I'm doing a road test involving shooting at different distances and apertures, Generally though and just for my own personal taste I think some shots we see on this forum would be better for having more DoF. This is just my own opinion.
