Product Description
This conversion lens adapter and hood set is required for mounting the wide converter and tele-converter to the camera.

Amazon.com Product Description
The Canon LA-HDC20 allows you to connect converter lenses to your Canon S2 IS digital camera for increased flexibility. It works with these separately sold Canon converter lenses:
  • Canon WC-DC58A Wide Converter Lens: Converts the focal length of the body lens by a factor of approximately 0.75 (35mm film equivalent at maximum wide angle: approximately 27mm) when attached.
  • Canon TC-DC58B Tele Converter Lens: Converts the focal length of the body lens by a factor of approximately 1.5 (35 mm film equivalent at maximum telephoto: approximately 648mm) when attached.
  • Canon 500D 58mm Close-Up Lens: Double-element accessory attaches to front of lens; changes closest focusing distance from infinity to 500mm (approximately 19.7 inches) from front of lens.
The LA-HDC20 includes a lens hood, which reduces that lens flare will mar your photos, and also helps to shield the lens from scratches and impacts.

5 out of 5 stars Lens adapter and hood   July 30, 2008
Works well with my Canon Powershot S5 IS. Though I did find a seller on the net who has the metal adapter alone for a much cheaper price so ended up getting two more adapters through that site to use with my filters and lenses. Its much quicker to change out the filters and lenses by having an adapter on all of them rather than screw on a different filter or lens on one adapter to change them out.


4 out of 5 stars Standared OEM item that will increase you options   July 25, 2008
This adapter and hood is really a great value for those who would like to increase thier options when shooting with thier canon s2,3, or 5 camera. this 58mm adapter tube lets the photographer attach either one of the two canon lenses (wide angle or telephoto), and filters more importantly.

This is a black set which might not match silver canon s3is models, but the matte black will perfectly match you black s series camera. that being said it also matches the camera body build material which is plastic. though not cheap plastic some might want other options like a lensmate or dealextreme aluminum adapter ring. Lensmate also offers a silver adapter. DX offers low priced adpaters but are not perfect and have slight wiggle.

The hood is very important as it will help with lens flares.

Also when purchasing this or any other adapter tube you will need to get a new lens cap as the original lens cap will not fit you camera anymore. but the original was not the safest as it did not really lock onto the threads.

You will have a lot more fun with this attachment and really increase the abilities of your camera. you do not need the wide angle or telephoto lenses as the built in lens is more than adequate. just get a good set of filters, I have a UV, Circular Polarizing, Linear polarizing, and IR. the two polarizers double as my variable neutral density filters.

get this or an alternative you will have a lot more fun with your camera with this modest investment and another modest investment in filters!



4 out of 5 stars Great addition to my Canon S5 IS digital camera.   July 25, 2008
The lense conversion adapter and hood make for a great addition to my Canon S5 camera. I am now able to take pictures out in the sun without damaging the lens or filters. Having the ability to add UV filter to the camera is a must.


4 out of 5 stars The trouble with plastic...   July 12, 2008
The hood and conversion adapter are genuine Canon (made in Japan) and have a quality look and feel. The trouble with plastic is that the threads tend to bind. Even a lightly screwed on filter can have a mind of it's own when you try to remove it from the adapter. Also, you cannot use a lens cap when the hood is on, which is a pain.
If I was buying these again, I would pay the extra $$ for aluminium.



5 out of 5 stars Nice addition   July 3, 2008
Nice addition for for my S3. I plan to get the telephoto lens in the future.
