Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon TC-DC58C Tele Converter Lens for Canon A650IS, G7 & G9 Digital Cameras
Customer Review: Strap this on and shoot the moon
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a little skeptical when I purchased this lens for my G9. Partly because the camera is about the same size, if not smaller and also because I have a very capable DSLR with great lenses too.
In the end, I'm very happy with it. It's easy to put on and take off... just screws right onto the necessary converter. It looks a little funny connected to the camera but no more than the pros look with their 800MM lenses at the super bowl (just a much smaller scale).
You need to know that this basically just extends the focal lenth by 2X at the high end. It doesn't make the wide angle half as wide (like making a 35MM a 70mm). So at the wider angles it's like looking through a tunnel with the image in the center of a dark tube. But once you get toward the telephoto range you "zoom out" of the tunnel and get the full effect of the lens.
It works great...no complaints and gives you a 400MM capability on the G9.
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. Customer Review: Excellent add-on

This teleconverter works great with my Canon G9. However, with this lens added to the G9 lens, you do not have a fast low-light combo. Be sure to use it with bright sunlight, or use a tripod. Also, if you intend to use flash, realize it will be blocked by this lens. Use an external flash if you must use flash. I may have to break down and get one for myself now.Customer Review: Good item
Summary: 5 Stars
The lens is a great accessory for my Canon G9. Also, I ordered the conversion lens adapter, but amazon did not have it on stock. They took almost twenty days to send my order!
Except for the problem of slow delivery, I'm happy with my purchase.

Canon TC-DC58C Tele Converter Lens for Canon A650IS, G7 & G9 Digital Cameras Large, heavy, high-quality 2X Telephoto Conversion lens for Canon A650is Digital Camera. Requires a lens adapter. Durable draw string bag, holds lens with adapter attached, included. If you plan to use this a lot, a Canon Digital Rebel would be a more logical camera. Because of size, for flash photography consider an auxillary flash such as Canon High-Power HF-DC1.
