I practice a small trick. When shooting a portrait I usually ask the subject
to hold a finger vertical, beside the eye. This makes focusing a bit easier.

Sorry for saying this, but I can't help it. With my AF SLR, I can focus on
the right eye, left eye, ear, nose, etc etc, within fractions of a second.
