No, the 1/8 density is subtle enough that it does not interfere with the phase-detection or contrast-detection autofocus systems of modern DSLR and mirrorless cameras.
The light loss is negligible, typically less than 1/4 of a stop. You generally do not need to adjust your exposure settings when using this filter.
The filter is not officially rated as waterproof. While the glass is durable, it should be kept dry to prevent water spots or damage to the ColorCore laminate between the glass layers.
The 1/8 is the subtlest version, offering very slight highlight blooming. The 1/4 is twice as strong, creating a more noticeable 'glow' and a more significant reduction in contrast.
