Thanks for the link. Canon recommends 50x the focal length of the lens (I'm not sure if this changes for full vs. cropped sensors), so a 50mm lens should be 2500mm (or 2.5 meters) away from the object you're focusing on. It seems like this calculator comes up with about half the distance, but I certainly couldn't say which is better to use.
