Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon WC-DC58A Wide Converter Lens for the S5 IS, S3 IS & S2 IS Digital Camera
Customer Review: Overall great lens with one design flaw, easily avoided.
Summary: 4 Stars
Sometimes get shadow of flash on photo if using minimum focal length. Every other situation I love using this lens an keep it attached to the adapter for quick access. So basically love it but be careful indoors taking group photos. maybe i just need to get the extra flash offered.Customer Review: Some good Some bad
Summary: 3 Stars
I was happy with the clarity of the optics, the fit(when screwed together, they where almost seamles), but, and this is a BIG but, the built in flash does not work well with either the WC-DC58A or the TC-DC58B converter. A dark area created by a shadow from the lense overpowers the rest of the picture area. So if you want wide or additional telephoto capabilities, don't expect to be able to use a flash. It seems there is a more powerful off camera flash from Canon, BUT it is a slave (no direct fire from camera as far as I can find}, thus it is activeated by the on camera flash and you get the same old shadow. Who ever designed this has their head where the sun does not shine, so to speak.Customer Review: Not very wide and blocks the flash
Summary: 2 Stars
This lens only provides a modest bump in wide-angle coverage. Standing in an average room at home, it's the same as stepping back one foot. I'm not sure it's worth the money for that tiny gain.
Also, it partially blocks the flash on the S5. If you plan to use it with the built-in flash, expect the bottom third of each photo to be dark. Fun.
