Customer Review: Excellent Canon Teleconverter
Summary: 5 Stars
I use it with my Canon Powershot A650IS and I'm very pleased with the results. excellent for birding and candid portraits. The weight throws the balance of the camera off when you're holding it, but this is to be expected.Customer Review: TC-DC58C TELE CONVERTER LENS

This Tele converter is perfect for my Canon G9 and easy to put on and off. One needs this for real close ups of musicians on the stage. Love the results. LisaCustomer Review: Good resolution, handling so-so
Summary: 4 Stars
This tele-converter produced very good resolution on my G9. If you want a field-of-view equivalent to a 420mm lens on 35mm film cameras, but not all the time, this is a good choice, assuming you already have a G7 or G9. If you are a frequent user of such long focal lengths, you will likely prefer a camera that has it built in, or better still, a digital SLR. There are two main reasons I say this:
(1) this add-on lens completely obscures the view through the optical viewfinder, so you have to rely on the LCD screen for framing your shots. You will need good light to be using a shutter speed that is fast enough to hold the camera at arm's length, like you need to do to see the screen, and the visibility of the screen in bright sunlight can be less than ideal. It can be done. A tripod or monopod would work better, provided your subject doesn't move too quickly or erratically. My percentage of keepers shooting birds in flight, for example, was pretty low.
(2) While the G7/G9 lens zooms from 35mm to 210mm (equivalent in 35mm terms), and this 2x converter gets you out to 420mm at the long end, you can't use it down to the 70mm (=2x35mm)you might expect, as you will run into severe vignetting. I *think* you can use it for all or most of the range above 210mm.
Having said all this, the G9 plus this converter makes for a very small and light long-lens package, for those who already have a G7/G9 or who only require the added reach from time to time.
Customer Review: TC-DC58C - Excellent Lens
Summary: 4 Stars
Just purchased this lens a month or so ago, and used it on vacation and a few other events. Overall, very happy with the lens. Sturdy and good weight to it - just what you would expect from a Canon lens. As I had read in other reviews prior to my purchase, the built in flash of my G9 cannot be used with the lens due to the shadows produced, so this is really limited to outdoor use (or a large indoor space with good lighting). Due to the weight of the lens, a tripod is helpful in keeping the camera still. I have used the tripod and some of the pictures have been amazing (sunrises, swim meet, baseball game). Would recommend to others.
