    It's very simple. Aim to the inside corner of the eye. If you're shooting wide open and not using high end glass, the image is going to be softer - stop down a little. If you're trying to get both eyes sharp and you are at 1.4, the lens must be parallel with the head or one of the eyes will slip out of focus and into the bokeh.

    Basically, you're over thinking it. You can download any number of iOS apps or web tools to tell you the exact DOF for your les (and camera since you're on a crop sensor).

    • yes.. parallel is true.,.. and shooting a 50mm F1.4 lens at F4.5 or so can give you insane sharpness compared to 1.4vaxorcist
