wc-dc58

This widened the field on my pro90is more than I expected. It works very well with this camera.I can find no problems with fit or function. This lens is a great accessory for your pro90

G1's built-in flash is blocked

Quite a good wide converter lens. It works well with the 58mm
lens adapter. Comes with front and back caps and also with a
fantastic pouch for keeping it in.

The only problem with this wide converter is that the built-in
flash on my Powershot G1 doesn't reach the right hand side of
the photograph when the lens is on. This is also the problem
with the light-sensor lamp and the red-eye reduction lamp.
Shouldn't be a problem with daylight and outdoor shooting
though.

Extremely satisfied

I purchased a "used lens" which had never been used. I got a great service.

Canon lenses...the best!

Canon definitely knows how to hook the consumer. If you have performed the research necessary to know the camera you seek, and it happens to be a Canon, you can bet a new lens or two or three will be in your future! And, why not? Canon has made lens transition seamless and simple. Moreover, given the cost of the camera, the low end incremental additions of wide converter and telephoto make your system relatively complete at a very reasonable cost. Do your research so you know what you're getting into!

I've recently purchased the Powershot A80 (an incredible little digital and highly recommended), a replacement for a Nikon digital. The A80's onboard lens brings landscape photography in at 38mm, but anyone who is shooting landscape knows, "the wider, the better." As a result, I purchased the wide converter (Canon product WC-DC52) to bring more picture into my landscape shots. The wide converter increases the angle from 38mm to 24.5mm, an exponential improvement, particularly for outdoor shots. And, all-in-all, the pricing is right, particularly if you shop it around a bit (however, Amazon has a great price). Further, the conversion adapter (see below), lens exchange is incredibly fast and elementary.

Net, net, if you're purchasing a Canon digital (low-to-mid range), spend the dough for the wide converter. You won't be sorry; a great investment.

NOTE: Make sure you purchase the Canon LA-DC52 Conversion Lens Adapter, which serves as the adapter for all compatible Canon lenses.
