Customer Rating:
Summary: Poor design
Comment: Although the lens adapter accommodates the 58mm lens series, it partially blocks the viewfinder view and the flash causing an unacceptable photo. Clearly an Canon caused problem.

Summary: This Does What It Was Designed To Do!
Comment:
I have used this adapter on my Canon G3 and am satisfied with it. It allows me to attach any 58mm filter, lens or lens cap. My particular habit is to attach the Canon 250D close-up lens, then a high quality UV filter, and then on top of that a lens cap (when not in use). The G3's main lens stays protected throughout. I recommend this adapter!

Summary: Necessary Accessory to Use Tele- and Wide Lenses w/ G3 & G5
Comment: If you want to use Canon's telephoto or wide-angle converter lenses with your G3 or G5 camera, you will have to purchase this adapter, which converts the threads on the lenses to fit the camera.

The drawbacks: it's the wrong color for the G5; it blocks the manual viewfinder (who uses that on these cameras, anyway?); and it can interfere with the in-camera flash (and thus a separate flash mounted on the camera's boot is a good idea). It also doesn't come with any carry case, unlike the actual lenses, but it should fit in your camera bag without a problem--and can be "stored" on the lenses themselves if you like.

Make sure that you're using this adapter ONLY on the G3 or G5; unfortunately, it doesn't work with the G1, G2, or G6. You'll need a different adapter for those cameras.

If you're going to use the adapter with more than one of the lenses, I suggest purchasing more than one. That way, you can leave the LADC58B screwed onto the lenses and make switching lenses much quicker and easier. The lens' cap will snap onto the adapter's open end without difficulty, and at least in the case of the tele converter, you can put the "assembled" combination of lens and adapter back into the lens' storage bag as a single unit.
