Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon TC-DC58B Tele Converter Lens for S5 IS, S3 IS & S2 IS Digital Camera
Customer Review: 1.5 is nice 2.0 would be better
Summary: 4 Stars
As a 1.5x converter, this lens deserves 5 stars. The optics appear to be flawless and the quality is good. As far as I know it is the only game in town for extending the range of this family of camera. That is a pity, because these cameras deserve more.
This converter really needs to be a 2.0x converter to fill the need most people have for it. If you have one of Canon's "mega-zoom" lens cameras such as the S2, S3, S5 IS that reach out to 432mm (35mm equivalent) then the 1.5 does get you somewhere. If you do not have a long lens on your camera, 1.5 won't be enough multiplier to get you where you want to go. If you have a large number of pixels, you can use this lens and crop the result with good effect.
Customer Review: so far, so good.

I've owned my Canon Powershot S5 IS since October and just recently purchased the tele converter lens and lens adapter (required). I love this lense so far and have been able to take some great shots that appear to be crisp and without blur. I had read other reviews that said the edges of the pictures were blurry, I have not had this problem. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because you have to zoom out a bit in order to get rid of the "tunnel" the lens creates when you are taking pics. This is kind of a cool way to frame the picture, but not always ideal for every situation.Customer Review: This is a question rather than rating.

Question: The Canon S2 has only 1 color - silver. I believe this telephoto converter came in only black, doesn't it look silly to have a silver camera with a long black nose?
I was going to get this adaptor but I am holding back because of it's color. Instead, I am looking to find a adaptor and converter kit that comes in silver instead of black.
Although I don't have this converter. Assuming that I am satisfied with its quality and featuers, I would only give it only 4.5 stars because of it's color.
Anyone has any ideas?
Customer Review: If only
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoy the ability to add zoom to a non-SLR camera. I have backpacked the Tour de France 3 times and could not afford the weight and size of an SLR rig along with a video camera. My Canon S1 was perfect...except for podium shots where the zoom was maxed. This lens isn't amazing, but will add more power - and it may be enough for you to justify its price (and the fact that it makes the camera HUGE). I'm taking this one to NY this weekend for a trial run.
My only regret? You cannot add a snap-on/secure lens cap as it has no threading. And IF IT WERE ONLY METAL!
Customer Review: Good results for the money
Summary: 4 Stars
Unless you are really concerned with the very best quality, I think this adapter does a very good job of letting you have the flexibility of a point-and-shoot and the versatility of interchanging lenses in a DSLR.
I have a Powershot S3 IS and I have been able to obtain very nice shots using this converter. I think is important to mention that you definetely need to purchase the LAH-DC20 lens adapters or the converter will not be able to attach to the camera. I was not able to find this explanation anywhere but fortunately I did buy those adaptors.
