Manual focus. Shoot. Adjust slightly. Shoot. Repeat about ten times. One of them will probably be good. ;)

or just use zoomed in live view
Or just get a new lens... what lens is it anyways?

I would buy a new lens but i'm a broke teenager right now so yee

honestly though the only issue I have is that it tends to have a soft focus around the edges

[Headcrab Zombie]

The 55-200 is a good telephoto lens to start out with, because it's cheap and lightweight, but that's about where the advantages end.
In my experience, it was a bit soft in general. The autofocus is old tech, slow and noisy...disadvantages, disadvantages, blah blah, whatever...the point is that a little edge softness is the least of your worries.
Also, there are very few lenses with no sharpness drop in the edges, pretty much just high end primes. Even my $1300 24-70 is noticeably soft at 100% in the edges. But your typical viewers aren't viewing at 100%, and the only time I ever have anything of interest in the edges is in group shots.


After shooting with my d750 (+ battery grip) for a month, I pulled out my d3200. It feels so TINY omg
