Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon LA-DC58J Conversion Lens for A650IS Digital Cameras

Customer Review: LA-DC58J Review
Summary: 4 Stars

The LA-DC58J is and adapter that is designed specifically for the Canon A650IS camera to allow the use/attachment of the Canon WC-DC58B Wide angle and TC-DC58C Telephoto Lenses. This adapter is made of black plastic, is fairly sturdy, and has 58 mm plastic threads for the attachment of the lenses. Attachment to the camera body is quick and easy as it attaches with about a ¼ turn in a quick lock attachment. Once attached to the camera body is has a tiny bit of play/looseness but is not loose enough to be of a concern. See the picture I posted for how it looks installed. Note however that because the threads are plastic and you have to be fairly careful to not cross thread or over tighten the Lenses.

I have the Canon Wide angle lens which is fairly large and heavy and its body and threads are made of metal. The Canon WC-DC58B Wide Angle lens thread design has some metal that extends beyond the threads which provides a bit of a guide to make threading into the LA-DC58J adapter easier and with less chance of cross threading. I found that the Canon Wide Angle lens screws into the LA-DC58J adapter with ease.

The LA-DC58J provides one bonus that is not mentioned in the Canon documentation. You can use this adapter to add 58mm filters to your A650IS. You might want to purchase this adapter for this reason alone! However, you can not install the Wide Angle or Telephoto lenses with a filter installed on the LA-DC58J adapter. For the filters I used, the filter's female thread depth will not engage the male Wide Angle lens' threads. This is due to that bit of extra metal that extends beyond the threads on the Wide Angle adapter. I suspect the Telephoto lens has the same issue. Canon's documentation also states that you can not install a filter on these lenses.

I give it 4 stars out of 5 because it is made of plastic and not metal like some of the other Canon adapters.
