Re: [Leica] Portraiture lens preferences

["Joe Codispoti" <joecodi@charter.net>]

In classical portraiture, the point of focus is the near eyebrow. Then the
lens is closed just enough to bring the tip of the nose into focus (an
unsharp nose should be avoided).
With reflex equipment this is done without need for guessing since depth of
field is easily controlled.
