Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon LAH-DC20 Conversion Lens Adapter (LA-DC58E) and Hood (LH-DC40) Set for the S5 IS, S3 IS & S2 IS Digital Camera
Customer Review: A must have option.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are moving up to having an excellent camera such as the S5 IS then you should have what is needed to protect your lens. A bit of advice for those unfamiliar with the camera and do not know how to install the adapter. You first must remove lens cap and portion of camera that the cap attaches to. To do this there is a button on the camera next to where it is marked 8.0 Mega Pixels to the left of the lens while looking at it. This will allow you to remove the part you need in order to connect the lens adapter. Another positive is that with a new 58mm lens cap you do not have to worry about the cap popping off because the zoom does not need to make contact with it. Happy Photo Shooting!Customer Review: figured out why these are plastic
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased the new S5 from canon, and last night I figured out why I chose this adapter over the aluminum ones. I dropped the camera ( horrible I know ) With the wide angle lense attached, it can be a little unbalanced. I was ecstatic to see that the lense adapter broke instead of the camera. It absorbed the fall. I can only imagine that the aluminum sakar or lense mate versions would have inverted the outcome. I'll gladly take this as the weakest point in my setup in the future! BTW the camera and the lense are fine, and have been a great joy since I got them. I can only thank the people at canon for their forethoughtCustomer Review: Lens safety

I am Deployed to Kosovo, I feel that (if anything) the lens adapter is well worth the cost for the simple fact I dont have to baby the camera in a hostile fire zone. I can throw the camera down in an instant if the mission dictates without having to worry about damaging the lens assembly. I like that the camera if the second adapter is on the camera doesn't lengthen the camera to speak of. I have to keep the camera in everything from a back pack that is thrown into a truck and setting on the radio system in the truck. I feel the lens adapter will save me alot of money in repairs on the lens assembly in the future.Customer Review: Canon LAH-DC20 Lens Adapter and Hood Set for the S3 IS & S2 IS Digital Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an expensive set of plastic pieces. They do function as described by Canon. But be aware of the VERY FINE PLASTIC threads.
Once the pieces are screwed together, it is VERY hard to get them apart. The plastic will deform while trying to unscrew them. The best approch is to very lightly screw them toghether. This is the best way to unscrew; While holding loosly in your hands and using a loose touch of your fingers, as if letting your fingers slip around the lens adapter, lightly apply finger pressure as turning to unscrew and if you are lucky, the two will seperate.
Customer Review: Useful Lens Hood for Canon S3 IS
Summary: 5 Stars
This lens hood is plastic, but light-weight, precision made and sturdy. It goes on and off easily and does the job. Anyone taking pictures in a position where the sun could strike the lens must use a lens hood to prevent glare. The photographer often doesn't realize the sun is hitting the lens.
The hood attaches to an extension that inserts easily onto the lens and locks. One precaution: when unscrewing the hood from the extension, use very little pressure, otherwise it distorts the hood and makes turning it very difficult.
