Determining distance for portraits at f2.8? Pardon the beginner question but I was wondering if I need to calculate my distance when shooting a portrait of someone at f2.8 or is it safe to focus on the eyes and make sure all good practices are in place before the shot (e.g high shutter speed/tripod etc).
