A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I have a 50mm prime lens that's really awful at focusing. How do I learn to manually focus for street photography?

Keep doing it, or take it off 1.8/1.2 whatever the widest aperture is and shoot at 2.8 or 4. This will give you a deeper DOF, making it easier to find focus quickly.
