A must Have for anyone wanting to add a telephoto lens or wide angel lens to their S5-IS,I recommend getting one for each lens, to save time when switching lens, you'll understand why if you get one.
THIS IS A TERRIBLE PRODUCT IS MADE OF CHEAP PLASTIC AND AFTER YOU ATTACH IT TO CAMERA THERE IS A LOT OF PLAY IT DOES NOT FIT NICE AND TIGHT,IT MAKES THE CAMERA FEEL CHEAP, THE PEOPLE WHO DESIGNED THIS JUNK DO NOT HAVE ANY IDEA OF MEASUREMENTS, IT WOULD HAVE MADE SENSE IF A DIFFERENT COMPANY MADE THIS THING. BUT CANON MADE THIS.I DON'T GET IT WHY IT DOES NOT FIT PERFECTLY SNUGH.BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARDS GUYS.
My only problems were with the fine thread designed for the lens. Also would of liked it to be painted a charcoal color to match the camera. This adaptor fits perfectly and easily. It's understandably fine but, being as it's made out of plastic it makes it difficult to remove the lens' at times.
Their magnification, above and beyond the cameras capabilities are so minimal that they are a total waste of money. If Canon is worried about their image, they should not even make this junk available.
Buyers, DO YOUR HOME WORK. I am a novice so that's what these are made for evidently.
Guess I need to spend at least $3,000 to come close to what I thought I might get. I am sure it is my fault for not doing more reviewing of the products.
I bought the wide converter WC-DC58A and the tele-converter TC-DC58B lenses that go with this adapter. I am shocked that Canon would sloutch to this level, as to sell a lense that does nothing more than the camera will already do.
They look all professional, like you really got something, but you may as well duct tape the bottom of a Coke bottle to the front of your camera and you would get the same results.
This is where the adapter mounts.The other item is that at full wide zoom, the corners of a picture may be obscured when using a filter with the hood in place. Hint: the "D-shaped" button at the base of the camera lens releases a small ring at the top of the camera lens by a small turn of the ring. You should just be aware. The adapter and lens hood are plastic and have a less-than-sturdy feel. However they do mount securely and perform as expected.Two things to note, the conversion kit does not come with any instructions so you have to figure out how to actually mount it. I've had this same problem with film cameras in the past so not a big problem.
