I've not had problems with orange, but I was using it at f/8 or 11, so 
dof helped.
A red filter will definitely have focus issues - you need to focus ever 
so slightly closer.
But with light or medium yellow, I've never had any issues.
And I've found that red can be to extreme - orange seems to respond like 
a red filter did with film.
