Customer Review: A must have, even without a converter lens.
Summary: 5 Stars
This inexpensive kit is a must have item. It weighs less than an ounce in total, and allows you to use the full range of available 58 mm filters on your S2. At the very least, any camera owner would benefit from a basic UV filter to improve contrast in hazy conditions, and to protect the camera lens at all times. When you are shooting in super macro mode, the adapter and filter assembly come off of the camera with a push of a button. As the old line goes, if your camera lens never gets dirty, you never have to clean it, and it will never get scratched. The second bonus is that you can buy a quality circular polorizing filter, and be amazed at the improvement in contrast, and the reduction of glare they can make in many typical photos. Just to have the ability of the two above mentioned filters makes this accessory worth owning, but there is more...
The included 58 mm thread lens hood is very effective, and will mount directly on the adaptor, or on the last 58 mm filter you have attached to the adaptor. It is large enough that it makes a real difference in image quality when shooting under contitions likely to cause flare. When using the built in flash, you should remove it, as it is large enough to hide a portion of the flash energy. That's not a problem though, as the two situations are more likely to be mutualy exclusive than not. When you feel the need to have both at the same time, the Canon flash unit offered for the S2 works perfectly with the lens hood.
The last reason to buy this accessory is that Canon offers three converter lenses for the camera, and they require this converter to be in place. So far, I have the tele converter (simply an incredible value. I reviewed it on Amazon today), and the close up adapter that allows you to do macro work at max telephoto lens settings. My next purchase will be the wide angle converter, and if it works as well as the telephoto converter, it too will be a must have, as having a quality 27 mm lens on hand really makes a difference when you try to get a group shot in an indoor setting.
Anyway, the Canon converter lenses extend the useful range of photographic opportunity for the S2 owner, and your goal should be to buy at least the long and the short converter over time. Meanwhile, the adapter/hood combo is very cheap, and will serve you well even if you decide that the standard lens is all you ever need. Buy one for your camera, and buy another for the wide and tele converters when you get around to ordering them. Then, switching lenses is a simple push button operation with no threading involved.
