Not obvious to me, I can't seem to get my lens to focus where I want it - sometimes. Mostly with full-length portraits (head to feet).
As I've written in another thread, I find that much depends on subject-to-camera distance.
When I shoot a full-length photo, the face is in the "blur zone" of the lens, even if it's precisely focused.
The solution is to reframe it so that the head is in the center of the frame, and uses the lens' "sweet spot".
When I try to use front rise/fall to place the sweet spot in the top third of the frame, it seems to take the blur zone with it.
However, if I move in closer to the subject, the face takes up a large portion of the sweet spot, and framing is easier and more pleasing.
Posted this elsewhere, but thought it would help here, too: https://apenasimagens.com/en/using-p...lens-potraits/
