Advantages: Make all of the extra lenses fit the camera. Disadvantages: The colour.
This particular review is aimed specifically at the Digital Canon G5 camera although this item will also fit the G3 model.
The “conversionLens Adapter ( LA-DC58B)” Hereafter referred to a “CLA” is entirely unremarkable. It is about 20g in weight. It appears to be made of plastic. Black on the inside and a very annoying grey colour on the outside. “Annoying” as the camera behind it and the lens in front are both matt black.
And that is the only problem I can see there ever being with this item.
It is designed to attach to the front of the G5 (G3) camera and enlarge the fitting to be able to take a 58mm screw thread.
The covering of the lens on the G5 camera can be removed by the usual Canon “Push button and twist” method. This removes a polo shaped piece of covering from ...
Advantages: Able to get more into a picture Disadvantages: The weight, the length when attached.
This is a review aimed specifically at the Digital Canon G5 camera although this lens will also fit the G3 model as well.
The wide-angle lens (Canon WCDC58N) is attached to the camera with the aid of a Conversionlens adapter (LA-DC58B ) this makes it rather long and bulky looking at the front.
I will be reviewing the LA-DC58B separately)
The lens like the rest of the camera is black and attaches via a 58mm-screw fitting.

I found it made the camera front heavy but this can be compensated for by resting the bottom of the lens on the palm of my left hand while controlling the features with my right.
Now in practical terms the wide-angle lens converts the focal distance of the body lens by ...
Advantages: Can improve your distance work Disadvantages: Long and heavy camera when assembled

The Tele Converter lens (Canon TC-DC58N) is attached to the camera with the aid of a Conversionlens adapter (LA-DC58B ) this makes it rather long and pointy looking at the front.
This lens, like the rest of the camera is matt black and attaches via a 58mm-screw fitting to the conversion tube.
(Incidentally this means it can also be attached to the 58mm thread on my 35mm EOS 300 SLR?. I am a big fan of compatible lenses!)
I found that when I used the concoction of adapter and lens it made the camera front heavy. This can be compensated for by resting the bottom of the lens on the palm of my left hand while controlling the features with my right. (or using a tripod!!)
What this lens actually ...
