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.

How do I get better at manual focusing? (alien.top)

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

Try an older / adapted lens that has focus distances on it and practice range focusing.

If your camera has focus peaking, enable that.

I have focus zoom set to a custom button too so I can zoom in and check focus, but that's mostly for longer setups, something as quick as street it might not be as useful.
