When using this filter on my Tamron 100-400mm f/4.5‐6.3 Di VC USD mounted to my Canon R7, the autofocus is extremely slow and then the photos are very soft/out of focus. If I remove the filter and use the same settings and subject the images are tack sharp and focus lock is obtained quickly. The filter is clean, scratch feee, and there don't appear to be any issues with the coatings.
