Got these close-up filters today in mail, bought them of Ebay last week. It was the Hoya Close-Up Filter Set with 3 close-up filters: +1, +2, +4. I was so stoked to test them when I got them but as soon as I screw them onto my new 50-200mm lens, I knew something was wrong. My camera wasn’t able to auto focus! Well I then tried manual focus, it worked but I had to be at a certain distance from the target, which makes it very impractical to use in real life. Also the image taken was very blurry near the corner, and also I had to use a really low F number like F11 in order get a sharp picture.

Overall, these filters are hopeless. I’ve just posted them onto Craigslist hopefully I can get rid of them ASAP
