Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon LA-DC58H Conversion Lens Adapter for Canon G7 & G9 Digital Cameras
Customer Review: Made of plastic
Summary: 1 Stars
Dang it. I read a well written review of the Canon G9 (and the need to get a lensmate):

I went to amazon and ordered this 'lensmate' thinking it would be anodized aluminum. (This plastic version should cost [...] cents, not $[...].) Anyhow, I found the metal one here:

I think I'll try returning this thing... never tried to return anything through amazon before. I also ordered some UV and polarizing filters -- I hope they are glass and not plastic. :)
Customer Review: too short for full lens extension
Summary: 1 Stars
The plastic Canon conversion lens adapter does work with add on lenses but it does not work with just a filter (Canon UV filter) and have the filter screwed in snug. If I do the lens hits the filter glass and immediately retracts and shuts down. I have to back-off the filter more than one full turn so that the lens does not hit the filter. I didn't notice this until after the return date so now I have a useless plastic thing. I have contacted Lensmate and they swear theirs works perfectly so I will buy theirs.Customer Review: Before you buy this for Canon A650:

Wish I had read all reviews before purchase. This does NOT work with the A650. See previous review about 'the white dot'. I just spent $113 to have this removed from my camera - they had to completely take the camera apart.
