Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon LADC58B Conversion Lens Adapter for G3 & G5 Digital Cameras

Customer Review: Works as expected - wrong color for the G5
Summary: 3 Stars

Now for some facts about the adapter:
* It is made to enable you to use 58mm filters, Macro-, Tele- or Wide-angle converter on your G3 or G5 (and it is also required for these).
* It will not work with your G1 or G2.
* People seem to be getting this wrong all the time: The LA-DC58 is only for the G1, G2, and this adapter (LA-DC58B) is only for the G3 and G5.

Pros:
* Quite durable - Hard plastic that has so far taken quite a pounding, and basically not a single chip or scratch.
* Works fine with any 58mm filter
* It is lightweight, so it will not weight your camera down. Of course, anything you put on the adapter is likely to be quite heavy.

Cons:
* The color - It is silver, something that matches the G3 in color, but since the G5 is black - it really doesn't look that nice on the G5.
* The shape - It is in the way of the flash on wide-angle view on the G3/G5. You can still use the flash unobstructed when you zoom a bit - probably to around 2x zoom.

Conclusion: It does what it is supposed to do, but Canon really should have taken the time to give you the choice between a G3 colored and a G5 colored. There is also the issue of the converter partly blocking the flash. It is still a necessary piece of equipment if you want to use a Tele or Wide-angle converter, or a 58mm filter on your Canon Powershot G3 or G5. It's a good piece of equipment, but due to its obvious drawbacks, I can only give it 3 stars!!!
