Summary: A cheaply-made but necessary accessory
Comment: This is first Canon product that has disappointed me with its quality. They must acquire them from their Chinese supplier for about 98 cents. This plastic device wobbles even when fully rotated to the detente position. I bought it to use with the Canon 250D close-up lens and it's barely adequate for that function. Canon should refund anyone who mistakenly bought one of these hockey pucks.

Summary: Canon LA-DC58F Adapter
Comment: This adapter replaces the decorative ring on the Powershot cameras (I use an A620) and provides a 58mm thread to add filters or conversion lenses. This adapter is fine for filters or close-up lenses, but as it is made of molded plastic I don't think it is suitable for wide-angle or teleconverters, which can be very heavy. For the latter, I would recommend the LensMate adapter which is machined aluminum (I don't work for or get any compensation for this, their adapter is just better for heavy lenses). Be warned that with some non-Canon-recommended conversion lenses, your camera's built-in lens may bump the rear element at extreme zoom, so be careful!

Summary: it's ok
Comment: If you have the canon a610 or the a620, and if you want to upgrade you camera, your going to need this adapter, it's easy to use and makes the work but it could be manufactured in a better material, the extra lenses are heavy and this adapter are made of plastic so you feel like the adapter are going to break, maybe canon in the future change the materials
