I kindly disagree. While it's great for environmentals, three quarters, etc., At 70mm, tight headshots are going to violate the subject's personal space (by American standards, anyway -- other countries have different norms for personal space). More importantly, the perspective will enlarge noses, which isn't flattering for many subjects.

This part of the post struck me as a bit rude.
