Canon LA-DC58H Conversion Lens Adapter for Canon G7 & G9 Digital Camerasbe carful when you open the box and are as happy to have this little adapter gadget as i was; however there are no instructions as to how to mount this item then is saw a button and pressed it, the adapter was in, i attached the wounderful wide angle lens and started taking pic. the lens weighs more than the camer so i decided to remove it until i needed it again. the lens adapter would not come off when i pressed the button!
long story short, the adapter is being cut buy a camera surgen at a cost of 50.00! there is a white dot on the adapter that must be lined up with the silver button inorder to set the adapter, if this is not done correctly, you will have the same problem so now i am purchasing a new adapter and my cost of ownership of this wounderful caamer has gone up buy another $100.00
Customer Review: Sure, it is essential.
Summary: 4 Stars
This product is very good and I would choose high-impact plastic (which it is) over any metal material. The plastic is light and tough and will not wear away the vital surfaces on the camera; mine is a G9, or the accessories. The fact is you may want one of these for each of your accesories so that you can leave it attached always, 3 individual adapters would be enough...wide lens, tele lens and a 58mm polarizer. The end used for the accessory is a screw-on with fine threads, so having each accessory already attached is a major short-cut. The other end is a modified bayonet and goes on and off pretty quick.
I do believe Canon should include "cheap" end caps for the camera (bayonet) end so that the attached adapter is sealed. The end cap that comes with the lens is too big. And for the price of this adapter it should include the cap.
Customer Review: Be sure it is firmly attached
Summary: 4 Stars
Be sure that you can't remove the installed lens holder before installing the heavy telephoto converter lens. This adapter does not lock firmly in place with a resounding, reassuring click. You put it on, note that the release button is still depressed, work it around until the release is in the popped out locked position, double check that the adapter is locked firmly and only then entrust the heavy lens to it. Lens itself seems top quality.Customer Review: A great accessory for your Canon G7 ot G9
Summary: 4 Stars
While this accessory is kind of expensive for what it is, (just a simple piece of plastic), it is necessary for use with the optional Canon converter lenses. As a stand alone accessory, it acts as a lens hood for the built-in G7/G9 lens, and also allows you to attach 58mm lens filters. I do recommend it, but I only gave it a rating of "4 stars" because it is overpriced.
