bro, i'm using 50mm 1.8 and I always have this problem that while shooting crop photos (close up), i cant get the whole subject in focus. Tried to increase to f2.8, improves a bit... i think if i increase to f5.6, defeat the purpose of having a f1.8 lens, right (i dunno)... how to rectify this problem?

We can't have everything right? Whatever i said was just my opinion and the shot might work for others. And at f1.8, wanting a subject that fills your whole frame to be sharp throughout is near impossible, i think. Unless maybe if use external flash? Or an 'L'? Will try out with flash to see if there's a diff. But i think on the overall it'd look better if the cropping was not so tight.

Well I wouldnt really put it that way. It depends on what you need it to do. The quality of the 50mm (1.2L, 1.4 or 1.8) is that the optical quality it typically pretty good compared to zooms since it is generally less complex.

If you WANTED to have the top of the head in focus but not the bottom half .. then f/1.8 would give you that effect perfectly (as you got that in your pic).
But if you wanted to have the whole pic in focus including his shoulder you just have to stop it down to f/5.6 or beyond. Alternatively, change your angle so that his ENTIRE face is parallel to the lens plane. Then it will all be in focus even if you use f/1.8.
