Canon 7D focus issues Poll

I'm trying to gather some info regarding the 7D focus issues, and whether the use of filter has any effect.

Does your lens have a filter on it, UV, CPL, etc? And does your 7D have focus issues?

Have you tried shooting with the filter removed?

i HAD focus issues but used the microfocusadjust (+9) and remedied the problem. so now i hit focus.
no filters on my lenses, just hoods.

I have both an UV and CPL for my tammy and 70-200, have a UV for my 50mm.

So far, haven't experienced any focusing issue so thats why I haven't tried shooting without them.

Edit: had back-focusing issues with the 50mm but thats not because of the filter, it was really the lens itself

What kind of issues do you have ?

Really only on my 50 1.4, seems to front focus. But I'm beginning to think it could be the UV filter.

Could you make a worse poll... lol..

Just ask yes or no. All those irrelevant choices and scholastic wording.

UV filter on all time. I am also using my CPL, ND ( all screw-on filter are B+W) and Hitech system. I don't have focus issue at all.

No probs except I recently fine tuned all my lenses to make sure. They all were best at
zero microadjustment except for a 400mm 5.6 that was best at -1. I repeated the tests
with the 400mm on several other days to make sure and it always came out -1.

Focus issues? Don't blame the camera.

Those choices are relevant.

One could have a filter, and possibly have focus issues, or not, and vice versa.

It's not that complicated, sorry if your confused, everyone else seems to understand.

I didn't get confused. It's a horrible wayto have a poll. Variables and sloppy structure. Sorry

But it bad polls float your boat coast...

If you have nothing more constructive to add, please move along.

use CPL with and without no issues here with focus on all lenses

Can't we all just get along? Life's too short to be crappy.

No filter. When camera was new I had a problem ONLY with my 85 f/1.8, which was fine on my 40D.
Canon repaired it, but it came back with a differnt focus problem in AI Servo. After the 2nd trip to Canon it was fine. Just recently the problem is back, I need to try the lens on my 40D to determine if it's the camera again or just the lens.

OT: The good news is that I just had 8x12 prints made which were shot with my 70-200 f/2.8 at an ISO of 3200 with slight NR applied in LR3and cropped. They're amazing! I was concernend about using my 70-200 at that ISO,(no flash allowed).

I don't know which one to vote (although i am x 7D user), your choice of wording is very very confusing (did i already mentioned very?).
But the 3 months i use 7D i didn't find any issue with its focusing system.
