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

Get an old school manual film camera. My husband bought me an old Pentax a few years back. The way the camera focused with the view finder was really awesome. It was the coolest gift. I’m sad it ended up breaking pretty quick tho. may look into getting another one just for fun.
