Default Filter choice

The polarising filter seems very interesting, and I'll doubtless have
plenty of experimentation ahead. However, at maximum zoom (on an
18-200mm Canon lens) the focus is very poor. Could this be down to the
filter quality? Or polarising?


The 18-200 is f/5.6 at the long end, and you're cutting more than another
full stop of light with the filter. There just won't be enough light left
for the autofocus system to work very well.
