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?

I would just try auto focusing instead. The stigma against auto focus is silly if that’s why you are using manual focus. If it’s the cheap 1.8 canon 50mm then I know how short of a distance that lens has to focus. Will be near impossible to get solid stuff in-focus that quickly and you’ll just lose good photos.
